At any given time, we have a number of trainers on our radar, as trainers we’d look to add to our trainers’ roster and to place horses with. David Loughnane, trainer of Go Bears Go, Wallbank, Lola Showgirl, Dubai Warrior etc, is an up-and-coming young trainer we’ve had in mind, for a little while.

David and his team bought this gorgeous daughter of the all-conquering young sire Mehmas, for €47,000 at the Goff’s Sportsman’s Yearling Sale. Mehmas made an electric start to his career at stud with the likes of the Gr.1 Middle Park Stakes and Gr.2 Richmond Stakes winner SUPREMACY, top Gr. 1-winning filly GOING GLOBAL and back-to-back Gr. 2 Gimcrack Stakes winners MINZAAL (later winner of the G1 Betfair Sprint Cup as a 4yo) and LUSAIL, alongside other top-class 2yos CATURRA and PERSIAN FORCE. PERSIAN FORCE now stands alongside his sire at Tally-Ho Stud. Our own SILKY WILKIE, (Timeform rated 112) by Mehmas, has been a star and is probably one of our most popular horses!

Here she is at Davids:

Racing update (March): Highly regarded as a 2yo, and although running a superb race in debut, just flattened out a bit, the more we raced her. Basically, she needed the Winter to strengthen up, which she has done. Should be a different proposition this time around, and we hope she can make up into the black type filly, we always hoped she’d be. Her race entries/declarations, will show on this page.
