The first of those Ballinrobe wins came in April 2022, which is where Magnor Glory's career story effectively begins. The most recent came in May 2024 — now 27 months ago — and that gap is where things get a little complicated. The last 6 races have produced no wins at all, with recent finishes of seventh, fourth, fifth, a blank (likely a non-completion), third, and fourth. That is not a horse in red-hot form, but it is a horse that keeps showing up, keeps hitting the frame, and raced just one day ago, which tells you the team at Carrigtoohill still believe there is something here worth running.
John Shinnick is the rider most associated with Magnor Glory, partnering the horse in 5 of its races for 1 win together — a 20% win rate, or 1 from 5, which mirrors the horse's overall career average almost exactly. O'Brien's yard has been in decent nick this season, sending out 10 winners, so the operation is ticking along. Whether Magnor Glory can add to that tally likely depends on one thing more than any other: whether the team can get back to Ballinrobe. Everywhere else, this horse is decent. There, it has been exceptional.
