Redcliff Glen

That single win came at Limerick on 19 October 2024, and it remains the only time Redcliff Glen has reached the winner's enclosure in a career that stretches back over two years. Nineteen months is a long time between victories, though the horse does keep showing up — it raced just one day ago, which tells you the team at C Byrnes's yard in Ballingarry, County Limerick, still believe there is a race to be won somewhere.

The partnership with jockey Philip Byrnes is the most established in Redcliff Glen's career — they have been paired together 12 times, winning once. That's 1 from 12, or about 8%, which is modest but not unusual for a horse operating at this level. The yard itself is in decent form, having sent out 26 winners this season, so it isn't a lack of ammunition around Redcliff Glen — this horse is simply one that takes its time.

Over longer distances — two miles and beyond — Redcliff Glen shows its best form, winning 1 of 11 races at those trips. That 9% win rate at long distance is the most encouraging number in the whole profile, nearly double the overall career average, and it suggests stamina is where this horse has the best chance of finding daylight again. Fittingly, that career win at Limerick came over a long trip. The fact that the win came at a local track — the same county as the home yard — is a small detail worth noting too.
