That one win came at Cork on 20 March 2025, and it remains the defining moment of Cullig's career so far. The fact that it hasn't won in the six races since suggests that day at Cork was a peak rather than a turning point — but three placed finishes from 15 races means it has been competitive more often than the bare win tally suggests. It's the kind of horse that keeps its trainer hopeful without quite delivering on the promise.
Speaking of the trainer, Patrick T Foley operates out of Bagenalstown in Co Carlow and has sent out 12 winners this season, which shows the yard is in decent health. Cullig, though, hasn't been one of those winners. Regular jockey Simon Torrens has been aboard for 7 of its 15 races without getting to the winner's enclosure together — not a partnership that has yet clicked, though that's no great surprise given the horse's overall record.
What is slightly encouraging is that Cullig raced just yesterday, meaning it's fit, active, and still being campaigned with intent. Trainers don't keep running horses that have nothing left to offer. Whether Cork holds the key again — given that's where the only win came — is something worth watching. Sometimes horses find a track that suits them, and that March 2025 day might have been less of a fluke and more of a clue.
