Cardiff By The Sea

At three years old, Cardiff By The Sea is still early in its career, with a record of one win and two places from seven races — that's a 14% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 7 outings resulting in a visit to the winner's enclosure. It's a modest return so far, but at this stage of a young horse's life, consistency and development matter as much as wins.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That sole victory came at Cork on 4th April 2026, and it stands out all the more when you look at the recent form figures: 5-7-14-1-7-4, read from right to left as the career has unfolded. The "1" in the sequence is that Cork win, and what's happened since is a familiar story for a young horse finding its feet — a dip back into mid-field finishes of 5th and 7th. The horse last raced just one day ago, so whatever that most recent run held, the team clearly have it in good nick and are keeping it busy.

Cardiff By The Sea is trained by J.A. Stack, based out of Golden in County Tipperary. The yard has sent out 12 winners already this season, which tells you this is an operation that knows how to get horses ready to win. Stack's string is clearly in decent form, and having a young, still-developing three-year-old on the books — one that has already broken its duck — gives plenty of reason for optimism about what the second half of the season might bring.
