About
Irish Maxima is a 5yo bay horse from the United States trained by John C. Servis. He is by the stallion Maximus Mischief out of Palace Pier. To date Irish Maxima has recorded 12 wins. On 10th May 2026 at Belmont’s Big A, he secured his biggest victory, capturing the $200000.00 Ruffian Stakes. The horse has proved profitable for punters; backing Irish Maxima throughout its career would have yielded an 18% return on investment.
