Without Love

That single career win came at Dundalk on 30 January 2026, and it remains the high point of Without Love's record so far. Dundalk is an all-weather track in Ireland that races year-round under floodlights, and it is the sort of venue where horses can really click once they find a surface and a setup that suits them. Whether that night in January was the beginning of something or just a peak worth cherishing remains to be seen — the win was five months ago now, and the horse has not managed to repeat it since despite finishing in the places twice in that time.

Without Love is trained by Cian Hughes, based at Newcastle in County Dublin, a yard that has sent out two winners so far this season. That is a modest total, which tells you this is not a large, high-volume operation — so when one of their horses does win, it matters. The horse raced just one day ago and is clearly in an active campaign right now, which means the yard are pushing forward rather than waiting. With five places from 11 races overall, Without Love is the kind of horse that keeps showing up close to the action without quite delivering — and sometimes, that persistence is exactly what precedes a breakthrough.
