The most recent win came at Sligo on 12 May 2026, just five weeks ago, and with a race as recently as yesterday, Beir Bua is clearly a horse in the thick of a busy campaign. Its first career win arrived at Wexford back in August 2025, so the team at Thurles have seen this horse develop and find its feet over the past year. Looking at those last six runs in order — 4th, 3rd, 1st, 2nd, 1st, 9th — the middle stretch of that sequence is particularly eye-catching: two wins sandwiching a second place is the form of a horse operating in good nick.
Ground conditions matter with this one. On normal ground, Beir Bua has won 2 of its 3 races — that is a 67% win rate, or two wins from three attempts, which is a genuinely striking figure. When conditions suit, this horse delivers. That kind of preference is useful information: it suggests the team will be watching the weather closely before committing to a run.
Andrew Slattery trains Beir Bua from a yard in Thurles, County Tipperary, and it is worth noting that his operation has sent out 62 winners already this season — that is the output of a yard that knows what it is doing and is not short of ammunition. A horse in form, from a yard in form, in the middle of an active spell of racing: Beir Bua is exactly the kind of profile that rewards keeping an eye on over the weeks ahead.
