Lilannbee

Lilannbee races for S G Carey's yard at Kilcullen in County Kildare, a training operation that has sent out eight winners this season. At a win rate of roughly 1 in every 8 races across a career of just one victory from eight starts, Lilannbee sits at the bottom end of the performance scale — the kind of horse that wins very rarely. Yet having finally found the winning formula at Punchestown at the end of last year, there is at least evidence the horse can do it. Whether that New Year's Eve success marks the beginning of a winning streak or remains a one-off remains to be seen, but the fact Lilannbee is still racing, still competitive enough to place on occasion, and still in regular work suggests the yard believes there is more to come.
