Is back off the same mark here but has still only won twice from 29 races and both have been when rated in the 60’s – she’s rated 70 today. The Fell yard are also 0-14 in the last two weeks and also only boast a 4-74 SR here at Thirsk, which is a further worry. At the prices, I’ll take something else to out-sparkle Ruby today. *Note: Some picks can drift during the day (obviously we have no control of that) – but I’d say if they hit 8.0+ they are prob best left (for obvious reasons).* * * * ## **Worth Knowing Today – Horse Racing Stats and Fun Facts** - **Trainer Willie Mullins has a 47% SR with his NH flat runners at Killarney** - **7:55 Killarney – Jockey AP Ryan has won 2 of the last 3 – Caislean Gear** - **8:20 Leopardstown – 7 of the last 8 winners from stalls 3 to 6** - **1:40 Hamilton – 3 of the last 4 winners from stall 3** - **Trainer George Scott has a 67% SR with his 2yolds at Hamilton (4-6)** - **4:25 Chepstow – 3 of the last 5 winners from stall 2** - **3:38 Thirsk – Last 2 winners stall 10** - **Trainer David O’Meara is 2-49 (4%) in the last 14 days** - **6:00 Leopardstown – 5 of the last 6 winners between stalls 1-4** - **6:55 Epsom – Trainer Ian Williams has won 2 of the last 3** * * * ## **Today’s Horse Racing Longest Travellers** **My Mate Roger**\ Tom Clover\ Hamilton 14:50\ 361 miles **Monarch’s Gold**\ Kevin Philippart De Foy\ Hamilton 15:25\ 361 miles **Tango Hotel**\ George Scott\ Hamilton 13:40\ 360 miles **English Oak**\ Hamad Al Jehani\ Hamilton 15:25\ 360 miles **Ad Lib**\ Charlie Johnston\ Epsom 17:45\ 255 miles **Clementines Star**\ Daniel & Claire Kubler\ Thirsk 13:53\ 224 miles ## **Horses Running Today That WON The Same Race Last Year *(UK & Ireland)*** - **6:10 Killarney: SWELLTIME** - **7:10 Leopardstown: SNELLEN** - **8:20 Leopardstown: TATUM** ![](https://media.readhorseracing.com/readhorseracing/2026/06/Midnite-Banner.jpg) * * * ## **FROMTHESTABLES – Get Top Daily Info Direct From The BEST Trainers** You can receive top Trainer Info Direct To Your Inboxes….EVERY MORNING (Daily FREE Quote Below) **Take a Look For Yourself –**[**JOIN FTS FOR JUST £1 HERE**](https://www.fromthestables.com/14daysfree/quotes/50/) **with PROMO CODE** ***‘POUNDTRIAL’*** ### **Today’s FREE QUOTE: Thursday 16th July 2026** **💬** **7:02 Worcester: JORAH D’ALMA (11/4 [Midnite](https://affiliate.midnite.com/C.ashx?btag=a_3358b_322c_&affid=924&siteid=3358&adid=322&c=))** *“Jorah d’Alma has never run beyond 2m4f but we thought the maiden hurdle would be weaker than the novice hurdle on the card and so it’s proved.
