What do you get when you mix a cloned five-star legend, rising Irish talent, and a four-star field full of firepower? A Millstreet weekend that’s anything but ordinary.
In this Connolly’s Red Mills special, Nicole Brown and Sam Watson dig into the data, the drama, and the dark horses. From Chilli Morning IV’s much-anticipated four-star debut to big moves in the race for the Irish national title, it’s an episode that blends analysis, prediction, and a good dose of curiosity.
Highlights include:
Clone Watch: Chilli Morning IV steps up to four-star with Gemma Stevens — but what do the numbers say about the clone’s chances?
Data-Driven Picks: A 38% win chance, top OBP (opposition beaten percentage), and the strongest dressage average in the field — Chilli IV is one to beat.
Contenders to Know: Altitu (Patrick Whelan), Wilfred Lancer (Kevin McNab), and Killossery Kaptain (Laura Collett) all bring serious form to the table.
Irish National Title in Play: The top-placed Eventing Ireland member in the 4*-S takes the crown — Sam’s betting big on a local name.
Red Mills on the Ground: With best turned out prizes, nutrition support, and top products on site, Red Mills, Foran Equine, and Carr Day & Martin have the weekend covered.
