About

Carrig Sam is a 10yo ch trained by E Griffin, sired by Shantou out of Carrig Millie. He has secured three victories, the most significant being the £21,000 Handicap Chase at Fairyhouse on 27 February 2022. The horse has been profitable for punters; betting on him throughout his career would have produced a 6% return on investment.
