Description
2018 Bay Gelding
Razdan was acquired in 2021 from HH Aga Khan’s select sales draft and has an impressive pedigree. He had been placed 2nd twice from 4 runs when purchased. He was given time to mature and duly won his maiden in Dundalk in early 2022. After his debut 3rd place over hurdles he had a dual purpose campaign with the highlights being a 2nd place finishes in a valuable handicap at All Weather Vase Championship day in Lingfield and in a Novice hurdle at the Galway Festival. He returned to the track with an emphatic win at the Curragh in 2023 and took his maiden hurdle in great style at Downpatrick in April 2024 – After a mid year setback he is back on track for a dual purpose campaign aiming towards a possible Premier Handicap on flat or over hurdles in early 2025. This gutsy wee horse is ever popular with our club members and continues to give his best on track.

Royal Cave
2019 BAY Filly
Pedigree
Description
This NH bred mare had 5 consistent runs in NH flat races as a 4yo never finishing worse than 6th with the highlight being a 3rd place finish at Fairyhouse.
She proved a natural jumper and after some introductory runs in maiden hurdles she finish a good 2nd in her handicap debut at Kilbeggan in September. She looked set to win when leading at the last recently in Fairyhouse but a tumble means we will have to wait a bit longer for a win with her.
She has returned to full training and has a nice handicap mark currently.
She is a game and genuine performer that we know will prove competitive in staying hurdle races in the coming months with her comeback run currently set for mid December

ROYAL Dynamite
2021 BAY gelding
Pedigree of Full Sister
Description
2021 Bay Gelding
Royal Dynamite
This 3 year old joined the Royal Racing Club’s roster in May 2024.
He is well related as his unraced dam is a half sister to Lady Kaya (Also by Dandyman). She was Group 1 placed as a 2yo and finished 1st in G3 and 2nd in G1 (English 1000 Gns) in her only 2 runs as a 3yo
Royal Dynamite was a late developer who gained valuable racecourse experience at a Barrier Trial in Naas in late May and now has a low handicap mark after his runs in maidens.
He seemed likely to stay based on his most recent flat run over 10f at the Curragh, be ground versatile and is a natural jumper so was tried twice in 3YO hurdle races in November.
He did not seem to be competitive in that sphere so the decision has been taken to retire him from racing and retrain him with most likely new career for use as a polo cross horse.

Description
2015 Chestnut Gelding
Danehill Quest Is a tough and reliable horse who has given our members some fantastic days out. He always runs his race and is a real fun and versatile horse who has been placed 8 times since joining the Royal Racing Club’s stable 2 years ago. He had recently had some encouraging runs, including a 3rd place, in maiden hurdle. He unfortunately had the reoccurrence of a minor injury after a recent hurdles run and the decision has been taken to rehome him.
One of our long standing club members has him now and looks forwards to his retirement days as he will make a super riding horse.

In early 2022 she was a winner and a close 3rd in a high class conditions race in Dundalk and then was an unlucky 2nd in a valuable race at the All Weather Championship in Lingfield.

2020 Bay Gelding
Divus Romulus
Fast Company X Viva Diva
A nice forward going 2 yo who is related to plenty of Black Type winners and placed. He had a pleasing debut when a fast finishing 5th in a good maiden in Galway.
He ran very “green” that day so significant improvement is expected on his next run which will be in Australia as an “Offer not to be refused” was made after his debut and understandably his owner accepted it
