Red Mirage

The highlight of his career came at Chester in May 2022, when he landed a Class 2 race — one of the top tier of contests in Britain. Jockey David Probert described him jumping sharply from the gate, getting a little fired up early on, then settling beautifully and stretching out with real purpose when asked. That performance suggested a horse capable of mixing it at a high level on the right day, and his total career earnings of around £74,000 reflect that he has held his own in decent company over the years.

He is trained by John and Sean Quinn at their yard in Norton, North Yorkshire, a stable in good form — 44 winners sent out already this season. Jason Hart is his most regular jockey, the two having teamed up 16 times, producing 2 wins together, or roughly 1 in every 8 rides. Red Mirage raced just yesterday, which means he is firmly in active training and being campaigned with intent.

The honest picture, though, is that his best days appear to be behind him for now. He hasn't won in his last 6 races, with finishes of sixth, sixth, third, fourth, sixth, and second — plenty of placed efforts but nothing that has converted. His last victory came at Doncaster in July 2025, ten months ago. At 8 years old and with that recent record, the question is less about potential and more about finding the right conditions to remind everyone what he showed that afternoon at Chester three years ago.
