What really matters for Clonmacash is his partnership with jockey Sam Coen. The two have a strong record together: five wins from 19 races is a 26% win rate, well above the horse's overall average. When Coen is in the saddle, Clonmacash seems to run better. That kind of understanding between horse and rider can be the difference between a plodding run and one that clicks. The horse is trained by Adrian McGuinness at Lusk in County Dublin, part of a yard that has sent out 45 winners this season — a respectable operation that knows how to place a horse and get the best from it.
His recent form shows the ups and downs of a middle-ranking racehorse: a sixth-place finish followed by another sixth, then a win, then fifth and seventh. Nothing to write home about in the last week or so, but those dips are normal for a five-year-old on the circuit. The real takeaway is that when conditions align — when he gets the right race, the right track, and ideally Coen in the irons — Clonmacash can deliver. The Curragh is where he does it best.
