Quornofamonday

The ground is everything with this horse. On wet or muddy ground, he's won 2 of his 10 races in those conditions — doubling his overall win rate to 1 in 5. That's a significant jump, and it tells you that when the rain comes down and the track gets soft, Quornofamonday moves up the pecking order. Trainers and jockeys notice patterns like that, and it almost certainly influences when and where JP Dempsey decides to run him.

Dempsey trains out of Carbury in County Kildare and has had a productive season, sending out 16 winners already. He knows what he has with this horse, and the partnership with jockey Keith Donoghue looks like a deliberate choice rather than coincidence. In 11 races together, Donoghue has ridden him to 2 wins — a win rate of roughly 1 in 5, well above the horse's overall average. When that combination lines up, it's worth paying attention.

His most recent win came at Thurles in February 2026, just three months ago, so this is not a horse living off past glories. He won his first career race at Naas back in March 2024, and he's added to that record since. The last six runs show four blank efforts followed by that Thurles win and then a sixth-place finish, which is a familiar pattern for a horse at this level — frustrating stretches broken up by the occasional moment of quality. He raced just one day ago, which means he's fit, active, and clearly being campaigned with purpose.

The combination of a proven wet-ground advantage, a productive jockey partnership, and a trainer in form makes Quornofamonday genuinely interesting to follow when conditions align.
