Spinning Around

Spinning Around is a 3-year-old with the kind of form that suggests genuine potential just waiting to break through. Two wins and five places from twelve races gives the horse a win rate of roughly 1 in every 5-6 races—decent, but the real story is that both victories have come in the past eight months, and the horse has been genuinely competitive in nearly half its starts.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The first win came at Dundalk in October 2025, and the second—more impressively—at The Curragh in May 2026. The Curragh is one of Ireland's top tracks, which means Spinning Around has proven it can handle proper competition. What's curious is the five-month gap since that last win. Recent form shows a win in the last six races, followed by a third place and a second, but then two mid-field finishes and a seventh at most recent. It reads like a horse trying to get back on track rather than one in decline—the third and second place finishes suggest there's still something there.

Trainer Donnacha Aidan O'Brien runs one of Ireland's most successful yards, and this season alone has sent out 31 winners. Having a horse like this in a yard of that calibre is a positive sign: the infrastructure and expertise to get the best out of a horse with unfinished business are both present. Spinning Around is active right now and evidently still being given opportunities to win. With two victories under its belt and regular place finishes keeping it competitive, this is a horse that looks capable of stringing together a small winning run if things fall into place.
