Banjaxed

Mrs Lorna Fowler's Summerhill yard, based in County Meath, has him as part of a modest operation that has produced three winners this season. Recent form shows him working hard without the luck required to get his head in front — he ran fourth, sixth, eighth, fourth again, fourth once more, and seventh in his last six races. That consistency in finishing places without winning tells a story familiar to any horse lover: a game competitor still trying but facing stiffer competition than he can quite match at this stage of his career. Still, at nine years old and still active, he raced just yesterday, suggesting there is life in the old horse yet. Whether another win arrives remains to be seen, but Banjaxed remains the type of horse that keeps racing yards ticking over — honest, regular, and occasionally capable of surprising on the day.
