The win came over a longer trip, which makes sense. At distances between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, Idomything has won 1 from 12 races — about 1 in every 12 attempts — suggesting this is a horse that genuinely needs time and ground to find its stride. Stamina, not speed, is its weapon. That Bellewstown success was no fluke of distance.
Rory Cleary, who rides for the yard regularly, has been in the saddle for 10 of those 19 races and accounts for the one win, giving the partnership a 10% record together — winning 1 in every 10 races they've shared. That's actually a more encouraging number than the overall career record suggests, hinting that this combination is the one to watch when Idomything lines up again.
Recent form makes for tough reading — the last six runs show finishes of 8th, 8th, 7th, 13th, a run marked as void or incomplete, and 10th most recently, just one day ago. That's a horse that has been busy but hasn't been threatening. At four years old and with only one career win to its name, the challenge now is whether Thomas Cleary's small but productive yard — which has sent out three winners this season — can find the right race to coax a second one out of a horse that clearly has the ability, but needs everything to fall right.
