Trained by Adrian McGuinness out of Lusk in County Dublin, Beau Army is part of a yard that has been in fine form, sending out 39 winners already this season. That is a productive operation, and it gives confidence that horses in this team are being placed thoughtfully and kept sharp. When Rory Cleary is in the saddle, the results have been particularly encouraging — the pair have won 2 of their 6 races together, which works out at roughly 1 in every 3, or 33%. For a three-year-old still finding its feet, that kind of partnership can make a real difference.
The overall career record stands at 2 wins and 3 places from 13 races — a win rate of around 15%, or roughly 1 in every 6 to 7 races. Both wins have come on normal ground, where Beau Army has won 2 from 8, or 1 in every 4. That ground preference is a useful piece of information: when conditions are right and the location is Dundalk, this horse has a genuine track record of delivering.
That said, recent form asks a question. Beau Army has not won in its last 6 races, with a second place the only real highlight in that stretch. The horse raced just yesterday, so it is clearly being kept active and the team evidently believe there is more to come. At three years old, horses are still developing, and a quiet spell does not necessarily mean the best is behind them. With its last win coming at Dundalk in January 2026, the course form is recent enough to remain relevant. If the yard point Beau Army back to Dundalk on decent ground with Cleary aboard, all the ingredients that have worked before would be in place again.
