Her last victory came at Fairyhouse on May 28th, four months ago, and she remains an active runner — she was out just days ago, finishing ninth. The recent form chart shows a horse still plugging away: a third-place finish a few runs back indicates she can still threaten, though the ninth and eighth-place finishes either side suggest she is running in stronger company or struggling to find her feet at present.
Where Spirit Of Eagles shows genuine interest is her record on normal ground. In 20 races on standard conditions, she has won twice — that is a 10% win rate, significantly better than her overall 4%. This is the kind of detail that matters to those who follow her: she is a horse who appreciates reliable ground and does not handle the very wet or very dry extremes as well. Trainer Ian Patrick Donoghue's yard at Clonalvy has been in fine form this season with 29 winners, and jockey Gavin Ryan, who has ridden Spirit Of Eagles seven times, found the winning post with him once — a 14% return that slightly outperforms the horse's career average. That first win came at Down Royal on July 28th, 2023, and it remains the platform from which her whole career has been built.
