Sunny South West

The career got off the ground at Clonmel in late March 2025, and things have moved quickly since. Two of those three career wins have come in the last six races, and the most recent form figures — 2-2-6-4-1-1 — tell an interesting story. Reading from most recent to oldest, you can see a horse that was in red-hot form (back-to-back wins), then went through a quieter spell, before bouncing back to consecutive runner-up finishes. That kind of consistency across different results — winning, then placing — suggests a horse that rarely has a bad day at the office.

One detail worth flagging is the ground. Sunny South West has won 2 from 3 races on slightly soft conditions — that's a 67% win rate, or two in every three attempts. For context, that is exceptional. Most horses are happy enough on any surface, but this one is noticeably better when there's a bit of moisture in the ground. If you ever see this horse declared to run on a day after rain, pay attention.

Trained by Edward F Power out of Ballycahill in Thurles, the yard has sent out five winners already this season, so this isn't a quiet operation — it's a stable with momentum behind it. The last win came at Cork on 11 July 2025, and with the horse having raced just yesterday, there's clearly an appetite to keep Sunny South West busy and in form. A horse racing this frequently is usually one that's healthy, happy, and — from the trainer's point of view — good enough to keep finding opportunities. Three wins, nine races, and still running. There's more to come here.
