Finnicky Filly

That single win came at Clonmel on 2nd December 2025, and it remains the defining moment of the career so far. Six months on, the memory of it is still fresh — and so is the horse, having raced as recently as yesterday. The recent run of form reads 6-5-6-2-7-5, which is a mixed picture: there is a second place buried in there that shows the spark is still alive, but the overall pattern is one of a horse finishing in the middle of the pack more often than not.

Michael Kenneally is the regular partner in the saddle, and together they have struck up a combination that has produced 1 win from 11 races — roughly 1 in every 11 rides. That is a modest return, but it represents the entirety of the horse's career success, so there is clearly something that works between them. Trainer John Patrick Ryan, based at Templemore in County Tipperary, has sent out 21 winners this season, which suggests a yard in decent form — even if Finnicky Filly has not been among the contributors to that tally lately. For a horse like this, the goal is less about chasing glory and more about finding the right race on the right day. It has done it once. The team will be hoping Clonmel was not a one-off.
