Leveraging

That single win came at Dundalk on 19 December 2025, and it remains Leveraging's only success to date—a fact that becomes more intriguing when you consider how long ago that was. Nine months without another victory is a long stretch, the kind of gap that tests a horse's confidence and a trainer's patience. Yet the last six races show signs of life. Most recently, the horse finished sixth, but before that came a first-place finish, suggesting that Leveraging can still produce the goods when conditions or circumstances align. There are other places in there too, which tells you the horse knows how to pick up some money without winning, a useful trait for horses trying to climb the ladder.

Trained by Ms Sheila Lavery from Summerhill in County Meath, Leveraging runs for a yard that has already sent out three winners this season. That modest tally suggests a small operation focused on developing horses at their own pace rather than chasing the big numbers. Given Leveraging's age and record, that approach might work in the horse's favour. With nearly a year between wins but recent form that includes a victory just months back, this is a horse that has proven it can find the winner's circle. Whether it becomes a regular visitor there remains to be seen, but the potential for a breakthrough is there.
