The record reads one win and three places from eight races overall, a win rate of around 1 in every 8 outings, which tells you this is not a horse who dominates her rivals. But the placed efforts show she has been competitive without quite getting over the line, and that January win suggests she is capable of putting it all together on the right day. His recent runs either side of that victory — finishing fourth and fifth — show he has been knocking around the frame without repeating the trick, which is fairly typical of a horse at this level finding the right race at the right time.
Peter Buchanan trains him out of Craigavon in County Antrim, a yard that has sent out one winner so far this season. It is a small operation, which makes that Fairyhouse win all the more meaningful for the team — these moments matter more when they do not come around every week. Buchanan has a reputation for being patient with his horses, and Soldierstown's path to a first win at the age of seven rather proves the point.
She raced just yesterday, so she is very much in active training and clearly being aimed at opportunities wherever the team feels she can be competitive. Whether she can add to that single win is the question, but at seven she is still relatively young in racing terms and the Fairyhouse result shows the ability is there on her day.
