Red Glory

The ground matters enormously to Red Glory. On slightly soft, moisture-in-the-turf conditions, the record reads 2 wins from 7 races — that is winning nearly 1 in 3, which is a dramatic improvement on its overall average. When the going dries out, the performance level drops noticeably. If you ever want to know when Red Glory is most dangerous, check the weather forecast first.

Rachael Blackmore, one of the most celebrated jump jockeys in the sport, has ridden Red Glory in 6 of its 20 races, winning once together — a win rate of about 1 in 6 when they team up. That partnership produced Red Glory's first career win at Killarney back in July 2024, a track on the south-west Irish coast where racing has been run for over 200 years. The most recent success came at Galway in October 2025, around eight months ago — Galway being one of Irish racing's great carnival venues, where winning actually means something.

Red Glory is trained by Henry De Bromhead at his yard in Knockeen, Co Waterford, and that is serious company to be in. De Bromhead is one of Ireland's leading trainers, and his operation has sent out 110 winners already this season — a yard operating at the very top of the game. A horse with 3 career wins sitting in that stable tells you that Red Glory is not the headline act, but being part of a yard that productive means it is well prepared and well placed to find opportunities.

The most eye-catching line in the whole profile is the recent form: 3-5-1-2-8-6 in the last six races, read from most recent first. That third place yesterday — yes, Red Glory raced just one day ago — keeps it firmly in current form. A win in there, two near-misses, and a couple of poorer days. This is a horse on the track, alive, and competing. On its preferred soft ground, it remains one to keep an eye on.
