Green Triangle

His record on normal ground stands out slightly: two wins from 12 races at 17%, which works out at roughly 1 in every 6 attempts on a decent surface. That suggests he is a horse who wants things set up just right, and his trainers seem to understand that. When he won at Gowran Park in June 2025, jockey Ronan Whelan was given clear instructions to give him a positive start and let him roll from the front. It worked — and the team were honest enough to say they had targeted the race specifically for the prize money, which tells you something about how they manage him: carefully, and with clear intent rather than wishful thinking.

His first win came at Roscommon back in July 2024, and by April of this year the Crisford yard was already eyeing a return there, reasoning that a horse who has won at a track before deserves to be sent back. That kind of thinking — matching the horse to the right opportunity rather than swinging for the fences — is exactly what keeps a horse like this earning and competitive.

Dylan Browne McMonagle has been in the saddle for five of his races and won once together, which is a 20% win rate — roughly 1 in every 5 — a solid return. Green Triangle raced just yesterday, so he remains very much in action. He has not won in his last six outings, but with six placings from 19 career races he is rarely far away. The Gowran win was only 12 months ago, and with a yard this organised behind him, another good day is not out of the question.
