At eight years old, Shesakindofmagic is no youngster, and the fact that the Limerick win in December 2024 remains the solitary career victory — now 16 months ago — tells you this is a horse operating at a level where winning is genuinely hard to come by. That gap between wins is not unusual at this end of the sport, but it does add a certain weight to the question of whether there is another day in the sun to come.
The trainer is Anthony McCann, operating out of Castleblaney in Co. Monaghan, a small yard that has sent out five winners this season. Five winners from a modest operation is a meaningful haul — this is not a factory yard turning out horses by the dozen, so each winner represents real work. McCann clearly knows how to place a horse, and getting Shesakindofmagic to win at Limerick on one of the year's biggest race days was a sharp piece of training. The horse raced just one day ago, so it is very much in the middle of an active campaign, and with that runner-up finish sitting second in the recent form, there is at least some evidence that competitive days are still ahead.
