The most striking thread running through Stone Bear's record is its relationship with Dundalk. Two wins from five races at that track is a genuinely impressive record — it means this horse has won 40% of its races there, which is a remarkable conversion rate for any horse at any track. Some horses simply take to a particular venue, whether it's the shape of the course, the surface, or something harder to explain. For Stone Bear, Dundalk looks like home.
The career started to click at Dundalk back in January 2026, and the momentum has not stopped. The recent form figures — 1, 3, 1, 7, 1, 5 reading from most recent — tell a story of a horse that keeps showing up to compete seriously. Three wins sandwiched around a few off days is exactly the profile of a horse still learning, still finding its level, but capable of winning when everything falls right. And crucially, it just won at Fairyhouse this week, which means Stone Bear arrives at whatever comes next on the back of a fresh victory.
Behind all of this is trainer Ross O'Sullivan, based in Kilcullen in County Kildare. With 35 winners already on the board this season, O'Sullivan is running a yard in excellent form — and Stone Bear appears to be one of the horses leading that charge. When a yard is firing like that, horses tend to be well-prepared and confident, and the results show it.
At three years old with a 30% win rate across ten races — winning roughly 1 in every 3 times it runs — Stone Bear is a horse that has found its stride early. The combination of youth, current form, and a course that clearly suits makes it one to keep an eye on. Raced just yesterday and still active, whatever comes next for this horse will be worth watching.
