My Fermoy

The recent form is what really catches the eye. Looking at the last six races in reverse order, the pattern reads 2-1-2-1-3-2 — meaning My Fermoy has finished first or second in five of those six runs. That is not a horse that flukes the odd result; that is a horse showing up and competing every single time. The most recent win came at Wolverhampton just two weeks ago, on 20 March 2026, and the horse raced again only yesterday, which tells you the team believes there is plenty left in the tank.

The first win arrived at Southwell back in November 2025, and since then My Fermoy has built steadily. The distance that suits best appears to be around a mile and one or two furlongs — over that trip, the record reads 2 wins from 5 races, a 40% win rate, or 2 in every 5. That is a meaningful edge. Most horses at this level are doing well to win 1 in 5; winning 2 in 5 at a specific distance suggests a horse that has genuinely found its optimum.

Denis Coakley trains the horse from his yard at West Ilsley in Berkshire, a base that has already sent out 10 winners this season. My Fermoy has been competing mainly at Class 5 level — the everyday bread-and-butter tier of British racing — where the win rate drops to 1 from 5, or 20%. That gap between the overall win rate and the Class 5 figure is interesting: it hints that My Fermoy actually performs slightly better when stepped up in class, which is an unusual and encouraging trait. A horse that finds its best form against stronger competition is one worth keeping a close eye on.
