Carla Ridge

At four years old, Carla Ridge has already shown she knows how to win, and she does it with a decent level of consistency. Across 10 races, she has won twice and finished in the places six times — that means she has come away with some kind of reward in 8 out of every 10 outings. A 20% win rate puts her in solid company; essentially, she wins 1 in every 5 races she enters, which is a respectable return at any level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Her recent form tells an interesting story. Reading from the most recent race backwards — a finish outside the places, then a win, then 19th, 3rd, 2nd, and 17th — you can see a horse that blows hot and cold but is clearly capable of something special when the mood takes her. That win at The Curragh in October 2025 is the headline moment: The Curragh is Ireland's most prestigious flat racing venue, the place where the country's best horses go to prove themselves, and landing a race there is no small thing. Her very first win came at Naas in September 2024, so she has been collecting wins at quality tracks throughout her career.

The partnership with jockey Chris Hayes is one of the more compelling threads in her story. In seven races together, they have won twice — a win rate of 29%, or just under 1 in every 3 races. That is meaningfully better than her overall record, which suggests Hayes knows how to get the best out of her. When you see his name in the saddle, it is worth paying attention.

She is trained at the Curragh by Eddie and Patrick Harty, a yard that has sent out 17 winners already this season. That is a team in form, and a team that clearly knows how to prepare a horse for a big day. Carla Ridge raced just one day ago, so she is very much in active competition — whatever comes next for her is likely not far away.
