Luck Between Us
Luck Between Us has taken its time to get off the mark, but the wait finally ended this week when the 6-year-old scored at Killarney on 16 July 2026. That first career win came at the eighth attempt — a record of 1 win and 3 places from 8 races that tells the story of a horse that has shown up consistently enough without quite getting its nose in front. Winning 1 in every 8 races is modest on paper, but for a horse that has been placing and competing, the breakthrough feels less like a surprise and more like a matter of when, not if.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What makes the Killarney win particularly worth noting is that it came just a day ago, so this is as current as form gets. Donncha Duggan, who trains out of Kilfinane in Co Limerick, has sent out 3 winners this season and Luck Between Us is one of them. For a smaller yard, that kind of return matters — each winner represents real momentum and Duggan will be hoping this one has turned a corner.
The recent form is honest rather than spectacular. Working back through the last six runs, that win this week sits alongside a seventh, a nineteenth, a sixth, a third, and an eighth. The third place finish earlier in the sequence is encouraging — it suggested the talent was there — but the nineteenth is a reminder that this horse has had its off days too. At 6 years old, horses tend to know their job well enough, and if Killarney has unlocked something, the yard will be keen to find out quickly.
