Geryon

That win arrived at The Curragh on 9th August 2025, one of Ireland's most prestigious tracks and a venue that regularly separates the promising from the merely ordinary. Winning there as a young horse means something. The recent form reading 4-2-2-1 tells an interesting story too — Geryon's last four races show a horse that won, then placed twice, then finished fourth most recently. Whether that fourth place represents a step back or simply a tougher race is the question worth watching.

Behind the horse is the yard of G M Lyons, based at Dunsany in County Meath, and this is not a small operation quietly hoping for the best. The team has sent out 49 winners already this season — that is the kind of output that marks out a yard operating at the sharp end of the sport. Horses from this stable tend to be placed thoughtfully and prepared well, which makes Geryon's unbeaten-or-placed record feel less like luck and more like good management.

With only four races on the clock, Geryon is still very much a horse with a story being written rather than told. The Curragh win is a solid foundation, the consistency is real, and the stable behind it knows how to develop a young horse. Whether Geryon can turn that promise into something more substantial over the months ahead is the interesting question — but the raw material is clearly there.
