Spinning Web

The broader career picture — 4 wins and 12 places from 33 races, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 8 — tells you this is a horse that competes honestly without dominating. It has earned its keep, and those 12 placed efforts show it is regularly in the mix even when the win does not come. Crucially, when the ground gets soft and wet, something clicks: 2 wins from 6 races on that surface, winning a third of its races in those conditions. That is nearly three times its overall win rate, which is a meaningful pattern rather than a coincidence.

Trained by Ms Margaret Mullins at Goresbridge in County Kilkenny — a yard that has sent out 6 winners already this season — Spinning Web is most often ridden by Danny Mullins, the pair having raced together 14 times with 1 win between them. That 7% win rate together is below the horse's overall average, which is a curious detail rather than a damning one, but it does suggest the partnership has not yet found its best form together. The horse's first win came at Tipperary in July 2023, and the most recent — that Thurles success — landed in March 2025, just over thirteen months ago.

Recent form offers little encouragement: ninth, fifth, third, and then three runs without a placing in the last three outings. Spinning Web raced just yesterday, so fatigue could be a factor. But this is a horse whose best days have come at a specific track on soft ground, and until those two things combine again, you may be watching a horse that is waiting for its moment rather than one that has simply stopped trying.
