Bear On The Run

The horse's form has been on an upward curve. After winning its debut at Dundalk on 15 August 2025, it came back to win again this week at The Curragh on 22 August 2026. In between, it picked up a second-place finish, but the momentum is clearly there. Of its last three races, it has won two and finished fifth once — which suggests that even when things don't go to plan, it's still competitive at the level it's being asked to race at. The fifth-place finish came most recently, just a day ago, so the horse remains actively racing and still very much in work.

Daniel James Murphy's Curragh yard has sent out 14 winners this season, so Bear On The Run is being trained by someone with a track record of getting horses to the winner's circle. At this point, with only three races run, the real test will be whether this early success can be sustained as the horse moves up through the grades. But right now, the numbers are saying this is a horse worth keeping an eye on.
