Ad Caelum (2019) Horse
About
Ad Caelum is a 6yo bay horse trained by J P Ryan in Tipperary. It is by the stallion Cloudings out of the dam Ad Meliora. To date, the horse has won four races. On 17 May 2025 at Kilbeggan, Ad Caelum recorded its biggest victory, taking the $25,000 Hcph prize. The horse has been a money‑maker for punters, and a backer who supported it throughout its career would have earned a 13% return on investment.
