Another Baar

Another Baar is a dependable sort who has spent six years slowly grinding out a career in moderate company. With eight wins from 49 races—roughly one victory every six outings—this horse has never quite climbed high enough to trouble the big names, but it has shown enough consistency to keep finding its way into the winners' enclosure.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The horse's best work comes on fast, dry ground. On those conditions, it has won five of thirteen races, a win rate of almost 4 in 10—a significant improvement on its overall record. That preference matters because it means there are days when Another Baar runs to a higher level than its bare statistics suggest. It last tasted victory at Goodwood on a sunny day in September 2025, thirteen months back, and that remains its most recent win. Since then, it has raced six times without success, though it has picked up places in most of those efforts, suggesting the horse has not fallen dramatically out of form.

Adrian Keatley's yard at Ryedale has been in prolific form this season with 43 winners to its name, and Another Baar benefits from having Oisin McSweeney as its regular pilot. The pair have a strong understanding: McSweeney has ridden the horse to four victories from fifteen races together, a win rate of 27 percent—substantially better than the horse manages overall. That gap tells you that the right jockey on the right day can coax more from this horse than it often shows.

At Class 4 level—the bread-and-butter of racing—Another Baar has won just twice from twenty-one attempts, which underlines that it performs better away from the toughest opposition at that rank. As a six-year-old still active and recently racing, it remains a credible handicap prospect for those who understand its needs: fast ground, a familiar rider, and a realistic target.
