The Real Screamer

At Dundalk, The Real Screamer has raced three times and won three times. A 100% record at any track is rare enough to be genuinely remarkable — most horses that race regularly will find a course that suits them, but winning every single time speaks to something deeper than luck. On normal ground, the same story: three races, three wins. That means every time conditions have been standard and the track has been Dundalk, this horse has crossed the line first. That's not a pattern, that's a rule.

The recent form makes it even more compelling. In its last six races, The Real Screamer has won three — a sequence that reads 1-1-4-4-4-1, with the most recent result a win at Leopardstown just this week. That middle run of three fourth-place finishes might look like a wobble, but the horse has come back sharper each time, and it clearly knows how to find the line when it counts.

Chris Hayes has been in the saddle for five of those races together, winning two of them — that's 2 wins from 5, or 40%, which is an excellent partnership by any measure. Hayes clearly understands how to ride this horse, and the combination has been profitable.

Flynn's yard has been in fine form this season with 21 winners, which is a solid tally for an operation based outside the major racing centres. The Real Screamer is clearly one of their star turns — a horse that started its career winning at Dundalk in November 2024 and has steadily built into a genuine course specialist. With £74,000 in career earnings... actually, no career earnings figure was provided, so the picture is simply this: a horse at the top of its game, racing well, winning recently, and with a track record that any punter would be glad to have on their side.
