Glyndwr

Across 14 races overall, Glyndwr has won 3 and finished in the places 5 more times, giving it wins in roughly 1 in every 5 outings (21%). That is a respectable return, but the raw numbers undersell the picture. Strip away the races at other venues and what you have is a horse that travels to Dundalk and almost always delivers. Its first win there came in October 2024, and by November 2025 it had added two more at the same track. When a horse keeps coming back to the same place and keeps winning, that is not coincidence — it is a genuine affinity.

Colin Keane has been the regular partner in the saddle, riding Glyndwr in 6 of its races and winning 2 of them — a win rate of 33%, or roughly 1 in every 3 rides together. That is a strong ratio and suggests the partnership suits both horse and rider. Keane is one of the sharper jockeys in Irish racing, so the fact that O'Leary keeps putting him up is itself a signal of confidence.

Glyndwr also has very clear preferences about conditions. On normal ground it has won 3 of just 4 races — a 75% win rate that is frankly extraordinary. At a distance of around a mile and one or two furlongs, it has won 2 from 4 (50%). Put it on its preferred ground, at its preferred track, over its preferred distance, and you have a horse that is extremely hard to beat.

Recent form reads 11-1-1-8-2-5 going back through the last six races, with the two most recent being wins. The yard has sent out 11 winners this season, so O'Leary's team is in decent nick. Glyndwr raced just one day ago and is very much in active campaign mode. Any time this horse lines up at Dundalk, in normal conditions, over a mile-plus, it deserves serious attention.
