Spinning Web

The career total of 13 placed finishes alongside those 4 wins tells you Spinning Web is competitive far more often than the win count suggests — this is a horse that shows up and runs honestly, even when the winner's enclosure stays out of reach. The first career win came at Tipperary in July 2023, and the most recent at Thurles in March 2025, now fifteen months ago. The last 6 races have produced nothing better than an eighth-place finish, and the two most recent runs were unfinished, which adds a note of concern to what is otherwise a solid profile.

One detail worth paying attention to is the ground. On wet or muddy ground, Spinning Web has won 2 races from 8, which is 25% — wins 1 in every 4 races in those conditions. That is a significant jump from the overall rate and suggests the horse comes alive when the going gets soft. Given the Thurles dominance and the preference for wet ground, you can see a very clear picture of when and where to watch this horse at its best.

Danny Mullins rides most often, partnering the horse in 17 of its 36 races for 1 win together — a combination that has not always clicked but clearly remains the yard's preferred arrangement. Ms Mullins's team has sent out 6 winners already this season, so the operation is in decent form. Spinning Web raced just yesterday and remains active, which means another opportunity to add to that Thurles tally is not far away. When that day comes and the ground is soft, it would be unwise to look past it.
