About
Dunkerque is a 5yo gelding trained by G P Cromwell of Meath. He is by the stallion Appel Au Maitre out of the mare Silver Seas. To date, Dunkerque has secured one win. On 23 July 2025 at Ballinrobe he recorded his most important victory, taking the $9 999.00 prize. The horse has proved a rewarding selection for punters; backing him throughout his career would have yielded an 11 % return on investment.
