St Denis's Well (2018)
About
St Denis's Well is a 7yo chestnut trained by Ian Donoghue in Meath. The horse is out of the mare Annie Greene and by the stallion Famous Name. To date it has collected five victories. Its most notable triumph came on 19 Nov 2023 at Navan, where it captured the $9,000 Gaeil Colmcille GAA Kells ‘Day At The Races’ Handicap Hurdle (80‑102). Punters have found it profitable; backing the horse throughout its career would have yielded a 118% return on investment.
