Mayo Shirocco
Four races into its career, Mayo Shirocco has already ticked the most important box — it knows how to win. The five-year-old claimed its first victory at Wexford just this week, on 3 July 2026, giving trainer
Colin Bowe and his Enniscorthy yard a result that will have caught plenty of attention. With one win and one placed finish from four outings, Mayo Shirocco has shown something worthwhile in every other run too, which matters more than it might sound at this early stage.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form reads 1-6-4-5 going back through the last four races, so the Wexford win is the clear highlight — a sharp upturn after a couple of mid-pack finishes. A 25% win rate, or one win from every four races, is a solid return for a horse still finding its feet, and the fact it raced just yesterday suggests the yard is keen to keep momentum going while the horse is in good form. Bowe's team has sent out two winners this season, so Mayo Shirocco accounts for half of that tally — no small contribution.
It is genuinely early days, but winning at your local track with your trainer based just down the road from Wexford has a nice symmetry to it. The next step is whether Mayo Shirocco can build on this and show it was a performance rather than a one-off.
