Jalila Moriviere

Her trainer is W P Mullins, based at Muine Bheag in Co Carlow — one of the most powerful yards in the sport. This season alone, that operation has sent out 215 winners, which is a staggering volume and a sign that horses in that care tend to be pointed at races they can win. Jalila Moriviere sits comfortably within that set-up, and Mullins himself has spoken about her with quiet optimism after what he described as a bright start to her chasing career.

That chasing career got underway in earnest with a win at Sligo on the first of October 2025, eight months ago now. Sligo is a tight, turning track where tactical awareness matters as much as raw speed, so winning there is no accident. Her first career win had come earlier, at Limerick in March 2025, suggesting she took some time to find her feet — which is entirely normal — and has been building steadily since. Mullins has pointed to mares' chases as the direction of travel for her, a competitive but specific corner of the sport that suits a mare of her profile perfectly.

Interestingly, her most regular partner in the saddle, Simon Torrens, has yet to win on her in five rides together. That is not necessarily a red flag — placing in nearly every race is still useful form — but it does raise the question of whether the right combination has been found yet. She raced just one day ago and remains in active training, so whatever comes next is not far away. For a horse still learning her trade over fences, with a powerful yard behind her and a trainer who believes she can keep progressing, the story feels like it is only getting started.
