Killybegs Jet Lady

Her one career victory came at Kelso on 24 May, a track that clearly suits her. That win came four months ago, and while she has not repeated it since, the string of placings shows she remains competitive. Ridden most often by Alan Doyle, she and the jockey have struck up a working relationship over 12 races together, though they have managed just the one win — a return of roughly 8%, which is respectable for a horse of her profile.

She is trained by the Milnathort yard of Lucinda Russell and Michael Scudamore, a powerhouse operation that has sent out 49 winners this season. Being in a yard of that caliber matters: it means Killybegs Jet Lady is around good horses and experienced staff, even if she is not a star herself. She typically races in Class 5 events — the lower end of the scale — where she has won none of her nine attempts. The recent placings, however, suggest she may be finding her level and could be worth watching, particularly if the yard can get her back to Kelso or another course that brings out her best.
