Shesakindofmagic
There is something quietly stubborn about Shesakindofmagic that keeps her the yard — sorry, that keeps
Anthony McCann's yard sending her out. At eight years old, she has raced nine times and won just once, which works out at roughly 1 in every 9 races. That is a modest record by any measure, but the story has a bit of charm to it: that single win came at Limerick on St Stephen's Day 2024, one of the most festive days in the Irish racing calendar, which is at least a memorable occasion to have on your CV.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The concern, and it is a real one, is that the win now sits 17 months in the past. Her last six races have produced a second place and nothing better than fifth otherwise, with a couple of seventh-place finishes and a tenth thrown in for good measure. That sequence suggests a horse who is competitive enough to place occasionally but is finding it hard to put everything together when it matters. At eight, there is no obvious reason to expect a sudden jump in form.
McCann operates out of Castleblaney in County Monaghan and has sent out seven winners this season, which shows the yard is functioning well enough. He has clearly kept faith with Shesakindofmagic through a long winless run, and she did race just yesterday, so she is very much an active part of his string rather than a horse being wound down quietly. Whether another day like that December afternoon at Limerick is still in her, only time will tell — but for now, patience seems to be the house policy.
