About
Dunkerque is a 6yo grey colt trained by J Candlish, sired by Appel Au Maitre out of the dam Silver Seas. To date the horse has secured five victories, including its most notable triumph on 23 July 2025 at Ballinrobe, where it collected $9,999.00 Mdh. Over its career it has delivered solid value to bettors; backing Dunkerque from the start would have yielded a 33% return on investment.
