Lismacbryan
Lismacbryan is a five-year-old who has made life difficult for anyone backing it, managing just 1 win from 17 races — that's roughly 1 in every 17 outings, a thin return by any measure. That single victory came at The Curragh in October 2024, and it remains the horse's only moment in the spotlight, now standing 20 months in the past. Since then, six races have passed without a win, with recent finishes of 17th, 14th, and 8th doing little to suggest a change of fortune is imminent.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
There is a sliver of promise buried in the record — two placed finishes across the career, and a run of 5th and 2nd in that recent sequence suggests the horse has shown up on its day. A second-place finish is not nothing, and it tells you Lismacbryan is capable of competing when conditions or circumstances align. The challenge is that those moments have been rare and have not translated into a winner's enclosure visit since that Curragh breakthrough.
The horse is trained by P Cluskey out of Balbriggan in County Dublin, a yard that has sent out 2 winners so far this season. With Lismacbryan having raced as recently as yesterday, it is clearly a horse kept busy, and the team are evidently willing to keep searching for the right opportunity. Whether that opportunity arrives before the Curragh win fades even further into history remains the question.
