Pink Oxalis

All four wins have arrived at distances between one mile one furlong and one mile two furlongs, and that's no coincidence. Across 14 races at that trip, Pink Oxalis has won 4 of them — just under 1 in 3 — which is a genuinely strong conversion rate. It tells you this horse has a very specific sweet spot, and when conditions suit, it's a real threat rather than a make-weight. Add slightly wet or soft ground into the equation and the picture sharpens further: 2 wins from just 4 races on that type of surface, a 50% win rate that jumps off the page.

The partnership with jockey Jack Kearney is worth noting too. In 12 races together, they've won 3 — that's 1 in every 4, or 25% — which is significantly better than Pink Oxalis's overall record with other riders. When Kearney is in the saddle and the conditions are right, the combination clearly clicks.

The cloud on the horizon is that Pink Oxalis hasn't won since Leopardstown on 13 September 2025, and the last six runs read 5-7-12-23-3-6 in reverse order — which is a sequence that ranges from respectable to disappointing. The yard itself is in good form, having sent out 24 winners this season, so the support structure is there. Pink Oxalis raced just yesterday, which shows the team are keeping the horse active and looking for the right opportunity.

The challenge now is straightforward: find a race at a mile to a mile and two furlongs on soft ground, put Kearney up, and trust the pattern. Everything in the record suggests Pink Oxalis is a horse that knows how to win — it just needs the pieces to fall into place again.
