La Dame Blanche

There is something quietly persistent about a horse that keeps turning up, keeps placing, keeps running — and La Dame Blanche is exactly that kind of animal. The seven-year-old has built a career record of 3 wins and 10 placed finishes from 35 races, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 11 outings. That is not a figure that jumps off the page, but 10 places means she has been competitive far more often than her wins alone suggest. She finishes in the money just under 4 times in every 10 races, which tells you she is rarely out of the conversation, even when the winner's enclosure is beyond her.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Her best distance is between a mile and one furlong and a mile and two furlongs, where she has won 1 from 5 races — a 20% win rate, or roughly 1 in 5. That is meaningfully better than her overall record and suggests she has a real preference for that middle-distance range. When the yard pitch her at the right trip, she becomes a more dangerous proposition than her overall numbers imply.

The most recent win came at Ballinrobe in July 2024, nearly two years ago now, and the current six-race winless run includes three placings — a third and two fourths — amid some less encouraging efforts. Her recent form reads 3-4-7-4-7-9, which is the kind of sequence that tells a mixed story: still capable of a solid run, but not threatening to win any time soon. She raced just yesterday, which means she is very much still active and still being campaigned.

Jockey Rory Mulligan has been her most regular partner, riding her in 7 of her races and winning once together — a 14% win rate, or roughly 1 in 7. That is actually ahead of her overall average, suggesting the partnership suits her. Her first career win came at Gowran Park back in May 2022, and she has since added wins at Ballinrobe, building a modest but genuine record across different tracks in Ireland.

La Dame Blanche is not a horse that will set pulses racing with her statistics alone. But she is consistent, she is still running, and at her best distance she wins at a respectable clip. There is always a chance she finds the right race on the right day.
