Horse & Jockey Irish Coursing Oaks Favourites
Horse & Jockey Irish Coursing Oaks Favourites
Butterfield
Butterfield- 5/1
The joint favourite for the 2026 Horse & Jockey Hotel Coursing Oaks is Butterfield , who is owned by the KMN Syndicate.
Butterfield booked her place for Clonmel in Week 5 of the 25/26 Coursing season when she won the Oaks Trial Stake at Castleislan d, defeating the fellow fancied Blades Of Dreams after being level early, she found an extra gear to win decisively.
Following her success in Castleisland, she was next seen at the famous Abbeyfeale, Corn Na Feile meeting last month where she picked up a repeat victory on the field. This time again she met another hotly fancied runner in Daoimean Dubh leading from the outset, repelling a challenge, and winning by one and three-quarters lengths.
Following both of those impressive successes this Gerry Holian trained Daughter of BoyleSports Magic and Cloncunny Wonder is at the top of the betting market with good reason.
Cujo
Cujo - 5/1
The other joint favourite for the 2026 Horse & Jockey Hotel Coursing Oaks is Cujo for Sean Cronin.
Cujo booked her place for the 2026 National Meeting while clocking well at the Oaks Trial Stake in Johnstown & Urlingford in week 11 of the coursing season and immediately had people tipping her as a major contender to win the big one at Clonmel!
This black bitch is bred in the purple, the daughter of Superstar sire Boylesportsmagic who has has exceptional 31 cumulative qualifiers for the Derby (15) and Oaks (16) which is 17 more than next best sire Blades of Hope who has a tally of 17 qualifiers across both events. Her dam Oakview Lily was a Trial Stake winner at Gorey in 2021 and has gone on to breed multiple stake winners.
Another to keep onside ahead of this weekends events, don't be surprised if you see her deep into the latter stages.
Mungos Bloom
Mungos Bloom -10/1
The third favourite for the 2026 Horse & Jockey Hotel Coursing Oaks is Mungos Bloom who is trained by Paddy O’Donovan for the he Lawlor Family Syndicate.
Mungos Bloom booked her ticket for the 2026 Horse & Jockey Oaks late in the season when she was a hugely impressive winner of the Oaks Trial Stake i n Week 16 of the season at Sevenhouses . She displayed plenty of early pace before staying strongly on the hill throughout including in her success over Savage Blade i n the final
Another well bred sort the sire of Mungos Bloom is serial scorer on the field Howdododo who won multiple stakes including winning the 2017 Champion Stakes at the National Meeting clocking the fastest at the entire meeting with a World Class 12.19 clock up the hill. He's since become a regular scorer on the breeding paddocks! The Dam Mungos Wren was also owned by the Lawlor Family Syndicate and has regularly bred Trial Stake winners.
That victory was only her second outing after having just one course in Mooncoin. Breeding is usually a key indicator for success in this game and after the notable win at Sevenhouses meeting it's no surprise to see Mungos Bloom as one of the market leaders for success again.
Ballinadaggen
Ballinadaggen - 12/1
Next in the betting for glory in the 2026 Horse & Jockey Oaks is Ballinadaggen who is priced at 12/1 for glory at Clonmel this coming weekend.
Ballinadaggen booked her ticket for this event during the opening weekend of the season at Kilflynn Oaks Trial Stake, with her impressive performance marking her as an early standout in the Oaks Trial category after defeating Granard Go in the final before later partaking in the all age stake at Johnstown & Urlingford
Bred in the purple as the daughter of multiple scorer on the field of sire Kyle Mozart and dam of Ballymac Floral owned and trained by Liam Dowling who won this event in 2022, transitioned to the track winning multiple times before joining the famous breeding paddocks in Ballymac.
Ballinadaggen is a member of a litter which includes one of the Derby Favourites Ballymac Awil and you can't rule out a litter double coming next weekend!
Blades Of Dreams
Blades Of Dreams -12/1
The next of of the 12/1 shots for the 2026 Horse & Jockey Hotel Coursing Oaks is Blades Of Dreams who is owned by Denis Guiney.
Blades of Dreams has been a consistent sight on the scene in the 25/26 season, with her first appearance during the Oaks Trial Stake at Castleisland , where she finished as runner-up the favourite for the 2026 National Meeting Butterfield . She was not to be denied next time of asking though winning the Oaks Trial Stake at Rathkeale where it beat Corgrigg Lilly i n the final.
A well schooled sort, who should be well in the mix when it comes to success at the 2026 National Meeting.
Daoimean Dubh
Daoimean Dubh - 12/1
Rounding off the top of the betting marker for the 2026 Horse & Jockey Hotel Coursing Oaks is Daoimean Dubh at odds of 12/1 who is another major contender for owner Mrs Agnieszka Czarnowska.
Daoimean Dubh booked her ticket for this event when she was an impressive winner of the Oaks Trial Stake at Edenderry where she beat fellow qualifer Falkenz Maze in the final. She then went to the high-profile Oaks Trial Stake meeting at Abbeyfeale where she beaten by market leader for this event Butterfield following a tough buckle up the hill by the best part of a length.
This bitch is the daughter of Upper Hand who won the 2020 Irish Coursing Derby and Laurina who has regularly brought qualifiers to Clonmel. With gears in abundance and bred to perform in Powerstown , Daoimean Dubh could be one to get onside in the betting ring come the weekend!
