The career arc is an interesting one. Geryon opened its account at The Curragh in August 2025, one of Ireland's most prestigious tracks, which is a decent place to announce yourself. But the more eye-catching result came just this week — a win at Leopardstown on 16 July 2026, one of the best and most competitive tracks in the country. Winning there as a 3-year-old, against horses that are likely more experienced, is not something every young horse manages.
The recent form confirms this is a horse in good shape right now. Reading the last six races from most recent back — win, fourth, third, fourth, fourth, second — there's a clear upward curve. After a run of near-misses, Geryon has clicked back into gear at exactly the right moment. It raced just yesterday, which means the team at G M Lyons clearly have it in good condition and are not shy about keeping it busy.
The yard itself is worth noting. Lyons has sent out 43 winners already this season, which puts the stable firmly among the busier and more successful operations in Irish racing. Horses from that kind of yard tend to be well-prepared and placed in races they can win. Geryon winning 2 from 8, or roughly 1 in every 4 races, is a solid return — but the placed record suggests there may be more wins coming if things fall right.
