Nashville Notions
There's a horse that has made its the yard wait, but Nashville Notions finally delivered when it mattered. The six-year-old has raced nine times in total, winning once and picking up a placed finish on two other occasions — that's a win rate of roughly 1 in every 9 races, which tells you this isn't a horse that wins easily. But the one win it does have came at Sligo on 10 June 2025, and that moment of success is the headline of everything this horse has done so far.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by Paul Stephen Kiely out of Dungarvan in County Waterford, Nashville Notions is part of a yard that has sent out three winners this season — a modest but meaningful tally that suggests Kiely knows how to place his horses when the time is right. Finding the right race for a horse that wins roughly once every nine attempts takes patience and judgement, and the Sligo win shows that combination can pay off.
The recent form makes for interesting reading. Reading the last six runs from most recent back, Nashville Notions has finished fifth, then had three runs where finishing positions weren't recorded, then eighth, then that winning run. The horse raced just one day ago, so it is clearly in active campaigning right now — Kiely is keeping this horse busy and looking for another opening. Whether the Sligo win was a one-off peak or the start of something more consistent is the question worth watching as the season continues.
