Tomas O Maille
Tomas O Maille is a 9-year-old with the kind of career record that tells you everything about life at the lower end of jump racing. In 40 races over several years, the horse has won just once — at Ballinrobe on 11 April 2025 — and placed in 12 others. That single victory came a long time ago now. Seventeen months have passed since that win, and in the six races run most recently, Tomas O Maille has finished out of the placings each time, with a best effort of third. The horse raced just a day ago, so it remains actively campaigned by trainer
M Flannery, though finding the winner's enclosure again looks like a steep ask at this stage of its career.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What makes Tomas O Maille interesting is not success but sheer staying power. Most horses this lightly won don't stay in work this long — they move on to other roles or retire. Yet here the horse is at nine years old, still running every few weeks, still looking for that second win. Jockey Ambrose McCurtin has ridden it 13 times and won once, a win rate of about 1 in 12. Over the course of 40 races, Tomas O Maille has earned money in about 1 in 3 outings, which means it is reliable enough to place but rarely competitive enough to win. For a yard sending out only two winners all season, a horse with one career win is exactly the kind of regular runner that keeps racing going — honest, game, and always there on the card.
