About
Pure Steel, a 6yo gelding trained by J J Mangan, ran in the Punchestown R1 Concept Colours Noel Byrne Memorial Rated Novice Chase. Sired by Yeats out of Beaus Polly, the horse has secured three wins in its career. Its most notable victory occurred on 11 Dec 2025 at Punchestown, capturing the $21,999.00 Nvch prize. The horse has proved profitable for bettors; backing Pure Steel throughout its career would have generated a 47% return on investment.
