Red Clubs was an Irish-bred Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He won the Group Two Coventry Stakes as a two-year-old, two Group Three races at three and the Group One Haydock Sprint Cup at four. The last named win was largely responsible for Red Clubs being named European Champion Sprinter at the 2007 Cartier Racing Awards. He was noted for the toughness and consistency he displayed in a twenty-five race career which lasted from 2005 to 2007. He died of an injury sustained while standing as a stallion in Ireland in 2011.

Red Clubs, a brown horse with a white star and snip, was bred in Ireland by Dr John Fike at the Islanmore Stud in Croom, County Limerick, having been conceived at the Vinery Stud in Kentucky. His sire, Red Ransom, was a lightly raced son of Roberto who became a successful stallion. Among his best progeny were Electrocutionist, Typhoon Tracy and Intikhab. Red Clubs’ dam Two Clubs, a half sister of the Haydock Sprint Cup winner Petong, was a successful sprinter, winning five races including two at Listed level.

In November 2004, Red Clubs was sent by the Islanmore Stud as a weanling to the Tattersalls sales, where he was sold for 40,000gns. A year later he was returned to Tattersalls and was again sold for 40,000gns, this time being bought by BBA Ireland and Barry Hills. Red Clubs entered training at Hills’ stable at Lambourn, Berkshire. He was ridden in twenty-one of his twenty-five races by his trainer’s son Michael Hills.
