The recent form makes for interesting reading. Reading the last six races from most recent backwards — 7th, 2nd, 4th, 1st, 4th, 4th — there's a clear pattern of a horse that found its peak a few months ago and has been trying to recapture it since. That second place is encouraging and suggests Bye Bye Now is not far off competing again, but the 7th last time out will be something the trainer is looking to explain and move past.
John C McConnell trains the horse from his yard in Stamullen, County Meath, and he's been in fine form this season — 36 winners already, which speaks to a stable running at full tilt. With a trainer firing on all cylinders, Bye Bye Now is at least in good hands as the team works out where to place the horse next.
