Local News
There are horses that take years to find their feet, and then there are horses like Local News — a 6-year-old who has simply won every race it has ever entered. Two races, two wins, a perfect record. That's not a fluke; that's a horse that turns up ready.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The story starts at Cork on 10 May 2026, where Local News opened its account for the first time. Less than a month later, it backed that up with a second victory at Kilbeggan on 31 May — just this week. Back-to-back wins at two different tracks suggests this isn't a horse that only works on one type of course or in one set of conditions. It travels, and it delivers.
At 6 years old, Local News is not a youngster feeling its way into racing. This is a horse that arrived with something to prove and has done exactly that. With the Kilbeggan win coming just days ago, the yard will be riding a wave of confidence right now. The only question worth asking is where they point it next — because on this evidence, Local News looks ready for whatever comes.
