Finsceal Annie

Finsceal Annie is a five-year-old on a frustrating losing streak. After winning four races across a career of thirty starts—a win rate of just one win in every seven or eight races—this horse has now gone six races without a victory, with results of 15th, 8th, 8th, 11th, 15th, and 6th in its most recent outings. The pattern is deflating: plenty of middle-of-the-field finishes and the occasional placing, but nothing that breaks through to the winner's circle.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The brighter side of the story is that Finsceal Annie has found a home where it genuinely shines. At Leopardstown, the horse has won two of seven races—a 27 percent win rate—and that's also where its most recent victory came, back on 19 June 2025. The sweet spot in distance is between seven furlongs and a mile, where it has won four of fifteen races (also 27 percent), compared to single wins or no wins at other distances. When those conditions line up, something clicks. With jockey Jamie Powell in the saddle, results have been less encouraging—just one win from ten races—but the partnership remains active.

Trainer Ciaran Murphy's yard at Mullingar has been productive this season with eighteen winners, and while Finsceal Annie has not yet contributed to that tally in 2025, the long gap since that June victory at Leopardsworth suggests the horse may be waiting for the right opportunity. Still active and recently in the frame with a 6th-place finish, there is room for a return to form, especially if the yard can book another race over the preferred distance at a track where history says it belongs.
