Caught U Sleeping

The key to understanding this horse is Naas. At that track in Co Kildare, Caught U Sleeping has won two of its three races — a remarkable two-in-three record that puts it among the most reliable course performers around. The first win came there in August 2025, and the most recent, eight weeks ago in May 2026, confirmed it was no fluke. Some horses simply suit a particular track — the shape of the bends, the camber of the ground, something about the way the race tends to unfold — and Naas clearly brings out the best in this one.

Ground conditions matter too. On normal going, Caught U Sleeping has won two of its four races, a 50% win rate that is extraordinary by any standard. Half the time this horse runs on its preferred ground, it wins. That is not luck; that is a pattern worth taking seriously.

The recent form is intriguing. Two poor runs — finishing eighth twice — preceded the last three outings, which read 1-2-3 in reverse order: three wins and places on the spin. Whatever went wrong mid-season has clearly been sorted out, and Noel Meade's yard at Castletown has the horse back in a rich vein of form. Meade has sent out 42 winners already this season, which tells you this is a professional, high-functioning operation, not a yard running horses for the sake of it. Having raced as recently as yesterday, Caught U Sleeping is firmly in the thick of its campaign, and on the evidence so far, Naas would be the place to be watching when it lines up next.
