Her best work has come on slightly soft ground. On normal or firmer surfaces, she struggles, but when the track is damp and a bit yielding underfoot, something clicks. She has won 2 of her 11 races on that ground — an 18% win rate, which is nearly three times better than her overall average. That last victory came at Fairyhouse on 7 October 2024, but since then she has been chasing that feeling without success. Six races have passed without a win, and her recent form reads like the story of a horse slowly running out of opportunities: 19th, 11th, 4th, 13th, 6th, 9th. There is still some fight in there — that fourth place is respectable — but the wins feel further away.
Her partnership with jockey H E Sexton has been her most fruitful connection. Together they have a record of 3 wins from 30 races, a 10% win rate, which stands well above her overall average. Sexton understands this horse, and she runs better for him. Trainer Adrian Sexton, who prepares her at his yard in Athy, County Kildare, has had a quiet season with just two winners to date, so Katherine remains a valuable member of a small, working operation.
