Dancing Jeremy

The last six runs tell an interesting story. Two of those have ended in victory, and the most recent win came just six weeks ago at Thurles on 19 February 2026 — meaning Dancing Jeremy heads into the current season in form rather than on the back of it. That matters more than it might sound. Plenty of horses this age are running on reputation; this one is running on results.

One number that really stands out is the record on wet or muddy ground: 2 wins from just 5 races, a 40% win rate. That means when conditions turn against most horses, Dancing Jeremy actually gets better. Win 2 in every 5 races on soft ground and you're not just coping — you're thriving. Any trainer worth their salt will be eyeing the weather forecast before committing to an entry.

James Andrew Fahey trains the horse out of Stradbally in Co Laois, a yard that has already sent out 5 winners this season — so this isn't a one-horse operation running on hope. Regular jockey Donagh Meyler has ridden Dancing Jeremy in 8 of its races, winning once together. That's roughly 1 win every 8 rides, a modest return that hints the partnership may still be finding its best. Dancing Jeremy's first career win came at Cork back in January 2022, so this is a horse with four years of experience at this level — it knows what it's doing.

With a race just yesterday, Dancing Jeremy is firmly in the thick of things. At an age when most racehorses are long retired, still winning races six weeks ago and still being pointed at fresh targets, this is a horse that clearly hasn't read the script about growing old gracefully.
