Luciole Des Bordes
Five years old and still finding her feet, Luciole Des Bordes has taken five races to get her first win on the board — but when it came, it came at Kilbeggan just this week, on 10 July 2026. One win from five races is a 20% win rate, meaning she wins roughly 1 in every 5, which is a perfectly respectable return at this stage of a career. Her recent form reads 1-5-4-2-5, so the results have been mixed, but that second-place finish shows she has been knocking on the door.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What makes this worth paying attention to is who is training her. W P Mullins — Willie Mullins — is the most powerful jumping trainer in Ireland, operating out of Muine Bheag in Co Carlow. His yard has sent out 215 winners already this season alone. That is a staggering number, and it means that when a horse from this stable finally breaks through for a first win, it has genuinely earned its place in a very competitive string. Luciole Des Bordes is one of over two hundred horses to have won for this operation in a single season, which tells you everything about the level of competition she has had to compete against just to get her moment.
She raced again just yesterday, so she is clearly in good health and being kept busy. The Kilbeggan win is a starting point rather than a destination, and with Mullins pulling the strings, the interesting question now is where she goes next.
