Mary Shoelaces

Trained by Eddie and Patrick Harty at their Curragh yard, Mary Shoelaces is ridden most often by Jessica O'Gorman, though their partnership has yielded only one win from eight races together. The horse was a debut winner at The Curragh back in July 2024, and that early promise of success on the track has largely held true. Her recent form, though, has been less encouraging — a run of 9th, 5th, 4th, 1st, 7th and 6th across her last six races shows a horse that is hit and miss. That fourth-place finish came just a day ago, suggesting the five-year-old is still actively campaigned and has the fitness to compete. For the yard who believe in her talent at The Curragh, finding another opportunity at the track before the season moves on could unlock another win.
