About

Aodhan May, a 9yo b trained by C Byrnes in Limerick, is by Vinnie Roe out of Caltra Royale. The horse has collected five victories to date. On 11 Apr 2024 at Limerick it secured its biggest triumph, winning the $9,000 Ishka Handicap Hurdle (80‑123). It has been a rewarding prospect for bettors; backing the horse throughout its career would have yielded a 25% return on investment.
