Are You In Or Out

The first thing to understand about this horse is that it has a venue it genuinely loves. At Fairyhouse, Are You In Or Out has won 2 of its 4 races — that's a 50% win rate at a single track, which is extraordinary when you consider it only wins about 12% of races overall. Winning half your races anywhere is the kind of record that makes trainers plan their whole season around a course, and Maxwell's yard was back there just this week, picking up another win on 28 May 2026. That followed the horse's first career win at Leopardstown in April 2025, suggesting it took some time to find its feet, but it has found them now.

The other patterns are worth noting. On normal ground conditions, Are You In Or Out wins 2 from 6 races — again, that 33% figure is miles above its overall average, so when the ground is neither wet nor firm, this horse is a different animal. The same goes for the shorter distances: over 5 to 6 and a half furlongs, it has won 2 of 9 races, which is roughly 1 in every 4-and-a-half starts. That's where the speed is, and that's where Maxwell tends to aim it.

One curiosity worth flagging: regular jockey James Ryan has been aboard for 6 races together without a win, yet the horse has won 3 times in its career. The two wins this season have come, meaning someone else was in the saddle when it mattered most. Maxwell's yard has been in good form generally — 6 winners already this season — and with Are You In Or Out racing just yesterday and clearly in the form of its life, there is every reason to keep watching.
