Shabby Hill

Trained by C Byrnes out of Ballingarry in County Limerick, Shabby Hill operates within a yard that has been firing on all cylinders — 26 winners sent out this season alone. That sort of output means the team knows what it's doing, and Shabby Hill looks like one of the horses they've got spot on. The first win came at Punchestown in January 2026, and the most recent arrived at Navan just two weeks ago in late March, suggesting this is a horse that is improving and building momentum rather than fading away.

The recent form reading of 8-1-1 in its last three completed runs tells an interesting story: a modest eighth place followed by back-to-back wins. That turnaround from anonymous to winning twice on the spin is exactly the kind of trajectory that suggests something clicked — whether that's the right conditions, a step up in confidence, or simply a horse coming into its peak at seven years old. With a race run just yesterday, Shabby Hill is very much in the thick of things right now.
