Red Letter

The 4-year-old has been raced by trainer G M Lyons from Dunsany, in County Meath, and jockey Colin Keane has been in the saddle more often than not. Between them, Keane and the horse have won two of their eight races together, matching the overall win rate. That consistency matters. More interesting is what the numbers reveal about distance: Red Letter truly finds its feet between a mile and an eighth and a mile and a quarter, winning half of its four races at those trips — that's a 50% win rate, which stands out sharply against the career average. This is a horse that knows what it likes, and a trainer smart enough to use that information.

The Curragh has become something of a second home. Red Letter has won twice there from eight races, and that first win on 21 July 2024 seems to have set a template. Most telling is the recent form: after a string of placings earlier this year, the horse came back to win at The Curragh on 30 August 2025. The fact that Red Letter raced just yesterday and came third tells you everything about its current status — it is a live, working racehorse, still being aimed at winners and still showing up. For a horse with this record, that is exactly where it belongs.
