The recent form figures tell a familiar story of a horse that is doing its job without quite getting the job done. A third and an eighth in the last two races suggest there are better days ahead, though the string of mid-pack finishes earlier in the sequence — a string of sixes, a seven, and a ten — points to a horse that has spent most of its career racing towards the rear of the field. With a race as recently as yesterday, the yard are clearly keeping Brother Hollie busy and giving it every chance to find its feet.
The trainer is Mark Michael McNiff, operating out of Strandhill in County Sligo on the west coast of Ireland. It is a modest yard by most measures, but five winners on the board this season shows it is a stable that knows how to get a horse to the line first when the right opportunity comes along. For Brother Hollie, finding that right opportunity is the next challenge — and given the frequency with which it is racing, it should not be long before we find out whether a first win is within reach.
