Chemdawg

The improvement in form has been real. In her last six races, Chemdawg has won twice and placed a further three times, meaning she has been in the frame — finishing first, second, or third — in five of those six outings. That kind of consistency is the calling card of a horse settling into a rhythm. She was a late bloomer, not breaking through until May 2024 when she won at Roscommon, but once she found the winning post, the pattern became clearer: wet or muddy ground brings out the best in her. He has won 2 of his 3 races on slightly soft going, a strong enough sample to suggest the trainer Oliver McKiernan and the regular jockey Phillip Enright — who have combined for one win from 17 races — now know what it takes to get him competitive. Raced just yesterday, Chemdawg remains an active and useful addition to the mid-tier racing scene, the kind of horse that makes days worth attending when the weather turns and the ground gets a bit cut up.
