Lady Bluebird

Her recent form tells a sharp story. In her last six races she has won twice and placed twice more, which means she has given her the yard something to cheer in four of those six outings. For a nine-year-old, that is not winding down — that is a horse in form. She won at Wexford just this week, on 30 June 2026, which means she heads into whatever comes next on the back of a fresh victory and with her confidence clearly intact.

Mr E Finegan has been her most regular partner in the saddle, riding her in 19 of her 21 races — a working relationship that goes back almost as far as her career itself. Together they have won 3 times, roughly 1 in every 6 rides. That is not a thunderous win rate, but the loyalty tells its own story: when a jockey keeps coming back to the same horse that many times, there is clearly something between them that works. Her first career win came at Punchestown on New Year's Eve 2023, and she has added three more since, suggesting she has only grown into herself with age and experience.

Lady Bluebird is the kind of horse that rewards patience. She is not a headline act, but she is durable, consistent, and still winning races at an age when many horses have long since been retired. The fact that she raced just yesterday and is currently active says everything about where she stands right now — very much still in business.
