Sunriseontheboyne

The most interesting chapter of that record is written at Dundalk, where Sunriseontheboyne has won 3 times from just 6 races. Winning half your races at any track is extraordinary — most good horses win far less often than that. Something about Dundalk simply suits this horse, whether it is the track shape, the surface, or the trip, and any time the entries go up there it is worth paying attention. The preferred distance of 1 mile 1 furlong to 1 mile 2 furlongs tells a similar story — at that range, the record reads 4 wins from 11 races, or roughly 1 in every 3, which is a genuinely high conversion rate.

Wesley Joyce is the jockey who knows this horse best, and the numbers back that up. In 18 races together, Joyce has ridden Sunriseontheboyne to all 6 of its wins — a win rate of 33%, or 1 in 3. That sort of partnership matters in racing, and when you see Joyce in the saddle, the yard is clearly confident. Ben Haslam, who trains the horse at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, has had a productive season with 35 winners already sent out — so Sunriseontheboyne sits within a genuinely active and well-organised operation.

The most recent win came at Listowel in September 2025, and since then the form has been mixed — a sequence of 9-8-12-6-12 before racing again just one day ago. Those are not winning numbers, but 33 races into a career tells you this is a horse that keeps turning up, and it has shown before that it can find a winning performance when conditions align. Normal ground, a mile and a bit, and ideally Dundalk on the horizon: that is when Sunriseontheboyne tends to be at its most dangerous.
