The horse's last win came at Limerick on 11 June 2025, and that was over 15 months ago — a long drought for any racehorse. Recent form has been poor: the last six runs have produced nothing better than a fifth place at best, with a 12th and a 13th mixed among them. This is a horse losing form rather than finding it, which makes the search for a return to the winner's circle more pressing. Trainer W McCreery, based at Rathbride in Co Kildare, has had a solid season with 19 winners from the yard, but Party Dress has not contributed to that tally in a very long time.
Nathan Crosse, the horse's most frequent jockey, has ridden Party Dress five times without a win — a nagging statistic that may or may not point to a mismatch, but one worth noting. With the horse still active and having raced just a day ago, there is time yet for form to turn, though the longer the current losing run continues, the harder it becomes to recall what that earlier winning formula looked like.
