Lord Aus

The standout detail is his form between one mile three furlongs and one mile four furlongs. Over that stretch, he wins roughly one in every three races, with one victory from three attempts. That is a pattern worth watching. His other four races have come at different distances, where he has been less convincing, so the trainer J P Murtagh clearly has a sense of where this horse performs best.

Lord Aus broke through for his first win at Limerick on 10 June 2026, and his most recent run came just a day ago. Looking at his last six races in order — he finished eleventh, third, first, third, then had a break, then thirteenth — you can see a horse that has found a win and is still being tested at various trips and conditions. The placement in third position twice in that sequence shows he stays competitive even when he does not win, which suggests decent consistency. The thirteenth-place finish suggests he was not suited to whatever the last race asked of him.

The yard sending him out, Coolaghknock Glebe in County Kildare, is a productive operation with 53 winners this season, so Lord Aus is in capable hands. At three years old, he is still developing, and with the right placement back at his preferred distance, he looks capable of adding to his tally.
