About

Chicago Critic is a 5yo colt trained by J P Murtagh in Kildare. Sired by Night Of Thunder out of Criticism, the horse has claimed three victories so far. On 11 May 2025 at Leopardstown it earned its most important win, collecting $45001.00 in a Class 1 race. It has been a profitable runner for punters, and anyone who backed it throughout its career would have realized a 19% return on investment.
