Global Skies

Those recent wins are the headline. The first career success came at Haydock Park in September 2023, but the latest — and arguably the most significant sign of current wellbeing — came at Limerick just two weeks ago, on 2 July 2026. The horse raced again only yesterday, so O'Sullivan is clearly keeping it busy while it is in form. Trainers tend to do that when they have something running well: strike while the iron is hot.

The distance question is worth noting. Global Skies has won 1 of 3 races over the shorter trips between five and six-and-a-half furlongs — that is a 33% win rate, meaning it wins roughly 1 in every 3 races at those distances. Compare that to its overall record of 1 win in every 7, and you can see why the yard keep coming back to the shorter trips. For context, a sprint at that distance is over in under 80 seconds; there is nowhere to hide, and horses that thrive there tend to have raw, natural speed.

O'Sullivan's yard is in solid form this season, having sent out 40 winners already, so Global Skies is operating within a team that knows how to get a horse ready to run its best. The horse competes mainly at Class 4 level — the middle tier of British racing — and has won 1 of 5 races there, or 20%, which is a respectable return at that level. It is not a horse chasing the big prizes, but it is a genuine competitor at its level, and right now it looks like one heading in the right direction.
