About

Half A Chance is a 6yo horse trained by J J Hanlon in Carlow. The colt is by Beat Hollow out of Shivermetimber. So far, it has recorded a single victory in its racing career. On 31 May 2024 at Limerick, Half A Chance earned its most notable triumph, taking the $12,626.00 Connolly’s Red Mills Irish EBF Auction Maiden Hurdle. The runner has proved to be a lucrative prospect for bettors; anyone who backed it throughout its career would have doubled their stake, achieving a 100 % return on investment.
