Clonmacash

There's a certain type of racehorse that just needs to find its place in the world, and for Clonmacash, that place is Dundalk. The five-year-old has won 6 races from 51 outings overall — roughly 1 in every 8 races — but strip it down to its record at Dundalk alone and you get a completely different picture: 5 wins from 28 races there, meaning it wins nearly 1 in every 5 times it turns up at that particular track. That's not a coincidence. That's a horse that has genuinely figured something out about that venue, whether it's the tight all-weather surface, the indoor atmosphere, or simply the trip. When Clonmacash goes to Dundalk, you pay attention.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Its first win came at Dundalk in November 2023, and the most recent — its fifth there — landed just five weeks ago in April 2026. So this isn't a horse living off past glories; it's winning at the track right now. Recent form reads 9-1-4-3-7-7 (most recent first), which tells a story of inconsistency away from its happy hunting ground, but that second place in its most recent run suggests it's knocking on the door again. Raced just yesterday, it's clearly in a busy spell of form.

The partnership with jockey Sam Coen is worth noting. In 19 races together, they've won 5 — that's better than 1 in every 4, a win rate of 26% that comfortably outstrips the horse's overall average. When those two team up, something clicks. Trainer Adrian McGuinness, based in Lusk just north of Dublin, has had a productive season with 39 winners sent out, and Clonmacash is a reliable part of that picture — not a headline act, but a horse that earns its keep and knows exactly where it performs best.

With 6 wins and 18 places from 51 races, Clonmacash has finished in the frame nearly half the time it has raced. It may not be a big-occasion horse, but it's consistent, it's active, and it has a home track it genuinely dominates. For a horse that could easily have been lost in the shuffle, that's a quietly impressive career.
