Brewing

Kevin Thomas Coleman's yard in Tipperary has figured out the formula. Brewing performs best when races are run over 5 to 6½ furlongs on soft going, and when jockey Adam Farragher is in the saddle, the partnership clicks at a 50% win rate — four victories from eight rides together. Those numbers represent genuine strength, not luck. The horse showed this decisively with a Class 2 win at Kempton in January 2024, a sign that Brewing can operate at a reasonable level when conditions align.

Yet the recent form tells a cautionary tale. Brewing hasn't won in its last six races, with only one finish in the top 3 during that stretch — a second place most recently. Last raced just a day ago and still running, the horse appears to be struggling at the moment, perhaps waiting for the right ground conditions to return. At seven years old with a career value earned through patience and specialist racing, Brewing is the kind of horse that rewards those who know its preferences while punishing those who don't. When the ground softens and Adam Farragher gets the call, pay attention. When conditions are against it, you're betting against the odds.
