That one win came at Dundalk on 19 November 2025, and it clearly left an impression on trainer Mrs John Harrington. Speaking earlier this year, he described the performance as very good, and pointed to seven furlongs as the distance that suits him best. Harrington is based at Moone in County Kildare and has sent out 54 winners this season alone — so when a trainer of that output singles out a young horse for a specific target, it is worth paying attention.
That target is a three-year-olds-only race on Irish Guineas weekend, one of the most prestigious fixtures on the Irish flat calendar. Aiming a horse with one win to his name at such a high-profile meeting is a statement of intent. It says the yard believes there is considerably more to come than the form book currently shows. The recent run of results — a win followed by finishes of fourth, fifth, and then a blank — suggests he has been finding things a bit tougher since that Dundalk breakthrough, but horses stepping up in company often go through exactly that kind of dip before they click into gear.
Watch this space. If Mrs Harrington's confidence is well placed, Irish Guineas weekend could be the moment Seoul Force steps out of the shadows.
