Lizzie Twigg

Her career only began in March 2026 at Down Royal, so everything about this horse is fresh and still unfolding. What has happened since that debut win, though, has been swift and impressive. She has barely put a foot wrong, and her recent form of 1-1-7-1 tells an interesting story: three wins bookending a single poor run, which in the context of everything else looks like a blip rather than a warning sign. She raced just yesterday, winning at Roscommon on 6 July — which means she is in the form of her life right now, winning races in real time.

Behind the horse is one of the most powerful operations in Irish racing. Gordon Elliott, based at Longwood in County Meath, has sent out 210 winners already this season. To put that in perspective, that is not a yard that stumbles into success — it is a machine. Elliott is one of the most respected and prolific trainers in the game, and when a horse from his stable starts winning races at this kind of rate, it tends to be because the team genuinely believes in it.

At just five years old and with only four races on the clock, Lizzie Twigg is barely getting started. The career record of 3 wins and 3 places from those 4 races means she has finished in the top three in every single outing except one. That level of consistency at this early stage of a career is what marks out a horse worth following closely over the months ahead.
