Pleascach (foaled 6 February 2012) is an Irish Thoroughbred racehorse whose wins included the Irish 1000 Guineas and the Yorkshire Oaks. Bred and trained by Jim Bolger she showed promise in two starts as a two-year-old in 2015, finishing fourth in a Group Three race on her debut and then winning a maiden race. In the spring of 2016 she finished second on her first appearance, won the Blue Wind Stakes and then defeated Found in the Irish 1000 Guineas. In summer she was beaten by Curvy in the Ribblesdale Stakes and disappointed in the Pretty Polly Stakes before returning from a lengthy absence to win the Yorkshire Oaks. On her final appearance of the year she finished fourth in a top-class international field for the Irish Champion Stakes.

Pleacach is a bay filly with no white markings bred in Ireland by Jim Bolger. She was sired by Teofilo the undefeated European Champion Two-Year-Old of 2006. Teofilo's other progeny have included Trading Leather, Arod (Summer Mile Stakes), Parish Hall (Dewhurst Stakes) and Kermadec (Doncaster Handicap). Pleacach's dam Toirneach (Irish for thunder) won two minor races in a twelve-race career which lasted from 2007 to 2009. She was a female line descendant of the influential American broodmare Levee.

Pleascach was trained throughout her racing career by Jim Bolger and was ridden in all of her races by Kevin Manning. She initially raced in the ownership of Bolger's wife Jackie. Pleascach is an Irish word meaning explosive.
