About the Fairyhouse Gold Cup

The Fairyhouse Gold Cup is a National Hunt steeplechase held in County Meath in Ireland. The race is for horses of five years and up, and is only for novice chasers, meaning that they cannot have won a race of the same kind prior to the start of the current season.

Don’t let that fool you though, this is a race of the highest calibre and has had many previous illustrious winners such as the brilliant Arkle and Voi Du Reve. As most high profile races often do, the Fairyhouse Gold Cup attracts the very best of trainers and horses, all vying for the purse which is always a six figure sum.

The Gold Cup (Tote are the current sponsors) takes place on Easter Sunday of each year. The race is part of the Fairyhouse Easter Festival, which happens to hold the Irish Grand National that weekend also. The festival boasts much more than the world’s best within the realm horse racing. There are bands that play throughout the three-day event, and there is even an Easter Bonnet competition for the children to compete in, among much more. For racing fans though, this is undoubtedly one of the key events of the three days.

Keeping It Irish

Within the modern era there have been many notable jockeys who have won the Gold Cup, including icons such as Tony McCoy, Ruby Walsh and Andrew Lynch, but it is the Irishman Paul Carberry who holds the record of jockey with the most wins. The local lad (Carberry was born in Ashbourne, Meath) is clear of his rivals with a resounding four wins at Fairyhouse. A truly astounding feat. In fact the only jockey who looks like he could even get close to the record anytime soon, given the retirements of Walsh and McCoy is Barry Geraghty, who has two wins at the time of writing.

List of Multiple Fairyhouse Gold Cup Winning Jockeys: 1960 – 2019

Jockey Total Wins First Win (Horse) Last Win (Horse)
Paul Carberry 4 2003 (Thari) 2011 (Realt Dubh)
Ruby Walsh 3 1999 (Rince Ri) 2019 (Voix Du Reve)
Tony McCoy 3 2005 (Like-A-Butterfly) 2015 (Gilgamboa)
Frank Berry 3 1984 (Bobsline) 1986 (Barrow Line)
Pat Taaffe 3 1963 (Arkle) 1965 (Doone Valley)
Barry Geraghty 2 2014 (Rebel Fitz) 2016 (Kylemore Lough)
Andrew Lynch 2 2010 (Jadanli) 2012 (Flemenstar)
David Casey 2 2001 (Sackville) 2007 (One Cool Cookie)
Conor O’Dwyer 2 1995 (Strong Platinum) 2000 (Native Upmanship)
Tommy Treacy 2 1996 (Love The Lord) 1998 (Delphi Lodge)
Mark Dwyer 2 1987 (Tickite Boo) 1993 (How’s The Boss)
Brendan Sheridan 2 1991 (Garamycin) 1992 (General Idea)
Tommy Carmody 2 1988 (Haepenny Well) 1990 (Blitzkreig)
Tommy Carberry 2 1972 (Frou Frou) 1978 (Ballyross)
Mouse Morris 2 1975 (Golden Lancer) 1977 (Bunker Hill)
Sean Barker 2 1967 (White Abbess) 1973 (Vulforo)

As for the winning trainers, it is certainly a who’s who of world class National Hunt trainers with notable names such as Noel Meade, Peter Casey and Willie Mullins all on the roll of honour. The record for top trainer in the event seems secure for a little while yet though, as that accolade belongs to Carberry’s fellow countryman Jim Dreaper, who has five wins from the years of 1973 to 1994.

Assessing The Field

When checking the facts with this particular race there is one massive trend that cannot be overlooked. That trend is the age of the previous winners since 1990. As shown by the chart below, the vast majority of winners have been aged between six and eight years old. This shows that perhaps the five year olds are just still a bit green, as not one five year old has won the race, ever.

Chart Showing the Ages of the Fairyhouse Gold Cup Winner Between 1990 and 2019

There have been three winners at the age of nine and one 11 year old winner within the selected period. This would lead us to believe that it is likely to pay to focus very much on runners at the peak of their powers – not ground breaking but worth being aware of.

This research shows that 26 out of the 30 winners within the specified timeframe, in other words 87%, were within the six to eight age range, and 29 out of the 30, being 97% of winners, were aged six to nine.

Whilst we don’t have stats on how many older and younger and horses have run over this period, surely any sensible punter must look to first to contenders that meet these strong age trends. And if you want to be even more specific, seven year olds could be the place to start, with horses this age delivering the goods 40% of the time.
