Dontspoilasale

The most recent win came at Dundalk just two months ago, in January 2026, and that matters more than the raw numbers might suggest. Dundalk is Ireland's all-weather track — it races year-round under floodlights, and horses who handle its unique oval surface tend to keep coming back. That win was the fifth of Dontspoilasale's career, and the fact it arrived on a winter night at Dundalk rather than at a summer festival says something about where this horse is comfortable and competitive. Denis Gerard Hogan, the trainer based out of Cloughjordan in Tipperary, clearly knows how to place this horse in races it can win.

Hogan's yard is in fine form right now — 58 winners sent out this season is a serious number, the kind of output that marks out a stable running at full tilt. Wayne Lordan rides Dontspoilasale most often, and their record together is one win from seven races, a 14% win rate that actually outstrips the horse's overall career average. In racing terms, that suggests the partnership works. The last six runs haven't produced a win, but a fourth place sits in there, and the horse is currently active — racing right now, this season, still in the mix.

First winner came at Naas back in August 2022, so Dontspoilasale has been around long enough to have earned its place in the yard. It's not a horse chasing the big prizes, but it's a consistent, durable animal that a trainer like Hogan can rely on to run honestly. In a sport full of horses that flame out or break down, simply being a 6-year-old with 58 races and a win two months ago is its own kind of achievement.
