The Liffey

The most striking number in The Liffey's record is at Dundalk. The horse has run there seven times and won twice, and crucially, one of those wins came just this week on 26 May 2026. Two wins from seven races at the same track might not sound dramatic until you consider what it actually means: this horse keeps coming back to Dundalk and keeps delivering. That kind of course form is not coincidence — it suggests the track's configuration, surface, and rhythm genuinely suit the way The Liffey races.

The trip matters too. At distances between a mile and a mile and two furlongs, The Liffey has won 3 of 5 races — that is a 60% win rate at its preferred range, which is a remarkable return by any measure. Pair that with a preference for normal ground, where it has won 2 of 4 races (50%), and a picture emerges of a horse that is highly predictable when conditions fall its way. The trainer's comments have previously flagged that heavy or wet ground catches this horse out, and the record backs that up entirely.

Hogan's yard has been in fine form this season, sending out 56 winners, and The Liffey is very much part of that story. Winning 2 of its last 6 races, with a fifth-place finish also in that sequence, the horse is clearly in a good place right now. A horse that raced yesterday and has this level of recent consistency is one worth watching very closely whenever Dundalk or a mile-plus trip on decent ground comes up on the card again.
