Trubshaw

The most interesting thread to pull is what happens when Trubshaw gets a proper distance to work with. Over 1 mile 6 furlongs to 2 miles — the kind of trip that sorts out horses with stamina and a bit of a motor — Trubshaw has won 2 from 7 races, a win rate of 29%, or roughly 1 in every 3.5 runs. That's meaningfully better than the overall career record, and it tells you something: this is a horse that needs to travel, that gets better the further you ask it to go.

The career has two notable landmarks so far. The first win came at Sligo in August 2025, and the second — arguably the more significant — arrived at The Curragh in October 2025. The Curragh is Ireland's most prestigious flat track, the sort of place where the best horses in the country line up, so winning there is a genuine statement. That was seven months ago now, and Trubshaw hasn't found the winner's enclosure since, though the recent form — a win and a fourth across the last six races — shows the horse is still competitive and racing regularly.

Jockey Gabriella Hill has been in the saddle for 7 of those 12 career races and is the partner for both wins, giving her a 29% win rate on Trubshaw — roughly 2 wins from every 7 rides together. That's a strong ratio, and the partnership clearly has a feel for each other. With Trubshaw having raced just one day ago and still very much in active campaign, the next chapter is still being written. A yard firing out 107 winners in a season doesn't run horses without ambition, and there's enough in Trubshaw's record — the Curragh win, the stamina profile, the consistent placing — to suggest the best may not be behind this horse yet.
