Tullyveery Lad

The standout feature of Tullyveery Lad's record is his dominance at Downpatrick, where he has won 2 of his 3 races — a win rate that singles him out as a genuine course specialist. That kind of record at a particular track often means the horse knows the layout, suits the ground conditions there, or simply performs better in front of his home crowd. His most recent win came at Tramore in August 2025, but that victory now sits 12 months in the past, suggesting he is in a barren spell. Indeed, his last six races tell an unhappy story: two fifth-place finishes, a pair of fifth-place efforts, and two runs that failed to place at all. There is no shame in that for a ten-year-old, but it does show he is struggling to find the winning touch that he once had.

Donagh Meyler is his regular pilot, and the pair have a strong record together: 3 wins from 11 races, a 27 percent return that is considerably better than Tullyveery Lad's overall win rate. That partnership suggests both horse and jockey know what works, and it may be worth watching for when Meyler is booked again. With the Cody yard sending out 6 winners already this season, there is enough form in the stable to suggest that a turnaround, if it comes, is not impossible.
