Spent All Me Money

The career arc has a pleasing shape to it. The first win came at Roscommon in May 2025, and then, a couple of months later, Spent All Me Money went and won at Naas — a sharper, better-attended track where the standard tends to be higher. That second win, on 4 August 2025, is the one that matters most on the CV. It says this horse can step up when it needs to.

Recent form tells a slightly mixed story. Looking at the last six races, most recent first — 16th, 11th, 1st, 3rd, 4th, 1st — the two wins bookend a run of results that are harder to look at. Finishing 11th and 16th is a significant drop from what came before, and those performances will give any interested observer pause. The question is whether those were blips caused by circumstances, or a sign the horse finds consistency difficult to sustain.

James Ryan has been in the saddle for five of those eight races and picked up the one win that falls within their partnership, which works out at roughly 1 in every 5 races together — a respectable enough record, though not one that screams an unbeatable combination. Trainer Adrian Sexton operates out of Athy in Co Kildare and has sent out 2 winners this season, so this is a small, quietly working yard rather than a powerhouse operation. That makes the Naas success feel like a genuine achievement — punching at or above the yard's usual weight.

Spent All Me Money raced just one day ago, meaning it is bang in the middle of an active campaign. Whether those recent poor finishes were a wobble or the beginning of a pattern is the thing worth watching. The talent to win at a decent track is clearly there. The job now is to show it more reliably.
