Shesthedevil

That win came at Navan on 11 July 2026, just one day ago, so the confidence in the yard right now must be considerable. Navan is a fair, galloping track in County Meath, and breaking your duck there is no embarrassment — it attracts decent competition and rewards horses that can travel well and quicken when it counts. The fact that Shesthedevil's recent form reads 1, a pulled-up run, and an eighth place tells you this isn't a horse who has cruised through everything — but the win is the most recent data point, and that matters.

Patrick Magee trains out of Shercock in County Cavan, a relatively small rural base that doesn't make the back pages every week — which makes it all the more notable that the yard has already sent out 8 winners this season. That's the kind of output that says a trainer knows what they're doing, even without a flashy address. A yard firing at that rate tends to have its horses fit, happy, and ready when they run, and the timing of Shesthedevil's win — fresh off the back of a quiet spell in the form figures — suggests Magee knew exactly when to pull the trigger.

At just two years old and with only three races under her belt, Shesthedevil is still very much a work in progress. But a horse that wins 1 in every 3 races before most of its peers have even figured out what racing is all about has every right to go into the next chapter with confidence.
