Her two victories have come at different tracks: her first breakthrough came at Newcastle on 2 August 2024, and she returned to the winner's circle at Haydock Park on 31 May 2025—a gap of nearly 15 months. When competing in Class 5 races, her record improves noticeably: she has won 1 of her 3 starts at that level, a 33% win rate that suggests she performs better against slightly weaker opposition. Her recent form shows promise despite mixed results—in her last six races she has placed four times, with a win and a third-place finish among them, indicating she is consistently in contention.

Bethell, speaking during a stable tour, described Oolong Poobong as "very progressive" and clearly a valued member of the yard. The trainer highlighted a particularly notable run in the Sandringham at Ascot, where she ran well despite an awkward draw and the physical demands of racing in heat on the same day as other runners—factors that plainly affected her finishing position. With a string of quick races behind her, Bethell was looking toward finding softer opportunities in the latter part of July, specifically eyeing handicap races where Oolong Poobong could potentially gain another win.
