Ballyeden Close (IRE)
Ballyeden Close is a gelding by Ol Man River out of a Close Conflict mare who was yet to win from four starts on turf. He raced twice at Leopardstown as well as once each at Clonmel and Naas, with two runs over 2m1f to 2m4f and two over 1m5f to 2m. All three starts on soft ground produced no placed efforts, as did his sole run on good to soft. His last run, at Clonmel in May 2024, saw him finish seventh of 17 in the Aisling Kennedy Memorial Maiden Hurdle.

Both figures are KTB's own, computed from the archive; no vendor rating enters either. Every run's figure is on its form line below with its grade. Grades measure how much the archive could see, never the merit of the run.
Run style is derived from in-running commentary, which our data provider does not supply for this horse's races.
