Stuntman Steve

What makes Stuntman Steve interesting is not a long winning streak or a dramatic turnaround, but rather the specific moments when he has shown up. His career began at point-to-point level with modest results, but he won at Ballingarry in May before making a winning debut for Cromwell in a race at Clonmel in November 2024, where the winning effort was decisive enough that the front two pulled clear of the field. When he won at Listowel the following June, the jockey's description of how that race unfolded—a strongly run pace that suited him, a decisive round at the final hurdle—suggested a horse who runs well when the race is set up right for him. The catch is that he seems caught between trips: he rides like a horse who wants further, yet it is unclear whether he actually stays longer distances. Keith Donoghue has ridden him more than any other jockey and has partnered him for 1 win from 8 races together, a 12 percent return that hints at a workable partnership when conditions align. For now, Stuntman Steve remains an active if modest campaigner in a winning yard, one who will keep running until he proves he has nothing left to give.
