About

Avondale is a 5yo bay trained by B Connell in Kildare, by Gleneagles out of Tayara. The horse has secured three wins so far. On 20 Aug 2024 at Roscommon, Avondale earned its biggest triumph, collecting the $7260.00 Sean Cleary Memorial Handicap (47‑70). It has been a profitable runner for bettors; staying with Avondale during its career would have delivered a 45% return on investment.
