Gallo Dell Cielo
Gallo Dell Cielo is a horse that has found its stride at six years old, winning three of its last six races and showing real form over the distances where it genuinely belongs. The horse has won five times from 25 starts overall, a win rate of roughly one in every five races, but that headline figure masks something more interesting: when races stretch beyond two miles, Gallo Dell Cielo becomes a different proposition entirely, winning two of its last three long-distance attempts — a 67% win rate that suggests real class at that trip.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The most telling piece of form came this week, when the horse won at Tramore on 15 August, a victory that proves it is still sharp and competitive right now. The last six races tell a story of consistency: a win, then a placement, another win, another placement, and two races outside the frame. This is a horse that runs well more often than not, and when everything clicks, it finds the winner's circle.
Gallo Dell Cielo belongs to trainer Patrick J Flynn's yard at Carrick-On-Suir in County Waterford, which has saddled eight winners this season. The regular pilot is jockey Robyn Donaghue-Leahy, who has ridden the horse 23 times and won four of those races. The pairing has settled into a working rhythm, though the 17% win rate together suggests they still have room to find more winning combinations. The real geography of Gallo Dell Cielo's success points to Dundalk, where it has won three times from 11 races — a course where the horse knows its way around and runs with real authority.
