The story begins at Bellewstown in July 2025, where Empty Wallet landed its first career win. Bellewstown is a small, festival track perched on a hillside in County Meath — not where you'd expect a future winner to announce itself, but there's something fitting about a horse called Empty Wallet choosing a day out at a track known for its carnival atmosphere. Since then, the form has been mixed — a fourth, a fifth, and a seventh suggesting the horse is still finding its feet at times — but the most recent run tells you everything you need to know. Empty Wallet won at Cork just this week, and the fact it raced only a day ago means this is a horse right at the top of its form cycle right now.
Behind the horse is the yard of G M Lyons, based at Dunsany in County Meath. With 47 winners already sent out this season, this is a team operating at serious volume and with clear intent. When a stable that busy and that productive keeps running a horse, it's because they believe in it — and Empty Wallet appears to be repaying that faith at exactly the right moment. A three-year-old with a 40% win rate, a win on the board this week, and a trainer in the form of their life is about as compelling a combination as you'll find in the sport right now.
