Red Autumn

The one moment worth remembering came at Bellewstown on 3 July 2025, when Red Autumn broke through for that first career win. Bellewstown is a tight, undulating track in County Meath that suits horses with a bit of tactical nous, and Red Autumn clearly took to it. The trouble is, that victory now sits 13 months in the past, and the six races since have produced nothing better than a second place — the recent sequence of 7-4-4-5-2-5 tells a story of a horse circling near the prizes without quite getting back to them.

Over a distance of 7 furlongs to a mile, Red Autumn shows its best form, winning 1 from 5 races at those trips — a 20% win rate at its preferred distance that compares favourably to its overall record. That suggests the tools are there when conditions align. Regular jockey Chris Hayes, who has partnered the horse in 5 of its 8 races and been aboard for that sole win, will know the horse well by now. The fact that Red Autumn raced just one day ago suggests Weld is keeping it busy, hunting the right opportunity to get back to winning ways.
