Lady Plimsoll

The real concern is how long it has been since that Ballinrobe victory. Fifteen months have passed without another win, and her recent form reads like a horse treading water — she has run six times in the last stretch and finished 8th, 2nd, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd and 3rd. Three seconds in a row suggests she belongs in competitive races, but she is not quite closing the deal when it matters. Trained by M D O'Callaghan at The Curragh, the yard has had a productive season with 18 winners sent out, though Lady Plimsoll has not been the vehicle for that success. She raced just a day ago, so she is actively campaigned and clearly her the yard still see something worth running, but the evidence suggests she may have peaked with that single success back in early summer 2025. At this stage she is a horse for patient supporters who can take second place as a small victory.
