What is perhaps more interesting is how consistent the recent form looks for a horse yet to get his head in front. His last six runs read 3-9-4-2-10-6 — that second-place finish stands out, suggesting there are days when Squire Ohara is genuinely competitive and in the conversation. The 9th and 10th place finishes are less encouraging, but the pattern is one of a horse that shows up on his better days rather than one that has simply stopped trying. He raced just one day ago, so he is very much in active training and clearly still part of the plan.
Peter Carberry has been the regular partner in the saddle, teaming up with Squire Ohara five times without managing a win together. That is a 0 from 5 record for the combination, but given the horse's overall record, it is hard to pin that on jockey or horse specifically — they are both working with what they have. Trainer Ian Patrick Donoghue, based in Clonalvy in County Meath, clearly has confidence in the horse's wellbeing if he is keeping him in work, and the yard is having a productive season with 26 winners already on the board this year. Donoghue knows how to get a horse to win — Squire Ohara just has not been the one to deliver it yet.
