Trained by Daniel James Murphy's yard at Curragh, Eclairage broke through first at Dundalk on 25 October 2024, and claimed three more wins at the same track by mid-July last year. The horse thrives on normal ground conditions, winning 4 of its 9 races on standard terrain, which suggests it is not fussy about underfoot conditions — a practical advantage for a jumper trying to stay competitive. Shane Foley, its most regular jockey, has partnered it in six races, with one win between them.
The concern right now is form. Eclairage has not won in its last six races, with results of 6th, 10th, 2nd, 15th, 7th, and 16th in reverse order. The 2nd-place finish shows it can still run competitively, but the sequence includes some well-beaten efforts. It raced just a day ago, so the yard clearly keeps it active and searching for another winning opportunity. At this stage, Eclairage looks like a horse that punches above its weight at Dundalk but has struggled to translate that form elsewhere — a useful pointer for anyone watching its entries going forward.
