Reynir

Trained by J P Murtagh at Coolaghknock Glebe in County Kildare, Reynir is in good hands. The yard has sent out 53 winners already this season, which speaks to an operation that clearly knows how to get horses ready to perform. With that level of firepower behind the scenes, Reynir will get every opportunity to turn those near-misses into a first win sooner rather than later.

The horse raced just one day ago, so the yard — sorry, the team — are keeping Reynir busy and active. A horse that keeps finishing second and third is learning how to race, building race fitness, and, most importantly, showing it belongs. The first win often comes in a rush once a young horse like this figures it out.
