Jered Maddox

Across a 57-race career, Jered Maddox has won 11 times and finished in the places on 20 further occasions — that means in roughly half of all races entered, there has been something to show for it. The win rate of 19% works out to almost 1 in every 5 races, which is a genuinely solid return for any horse at this level. The first of those wins came at Dundalk back in January 2022, and fittingly it was Dundalk again where the most recent win arrived in April 2026 — a nice bit of symmetry for a horse that clearly knows the track well.

Perhaps the most eye-catching number in Jered Maddox's record, though, is at Laytown — two wins from just three races. Laytown is one of the most unusual venues in Irish racing, a beach course where the tide dictates the schedule, and mastering it takes something special. Winning two out of three there is not a coincidence; it suggests this horse genuinely thrives in that quirky environment.

The partnership with jockey Luke McAteer is worth highlighting. In 22 races together they have won 6 times — that is more than 1 in every 4 races, a 27% win rate that comfortably beats Jered Maddox's overall average. When those two line up together, it is a combination worth paying attention to.

Behind the scenes, trainer David Marnane operates out of Bansha in County Tipperary and has had a productive season, sending out 16 winners. Keeping a 10-year-old race-fit, motivated, and still competitive enough to win is no small achievement for any yard, and the recent form — a win four weeks ago, a race just yesterday — suggests Marnane knows exactly how to manage this veteran. A horse this age with this much recent activity and this much recent success is genuinely unusual, and that alone makes Jered Maddox worth following.
