Far Away West
Far Away West is a seven-year-old horse who has never won a race despite 21 attempts, finishing in the placings four times. The horse runs most often for trainer
Hugh Burns at Alnwick in Northumberland, and is ridden regularly by jockey
Harry Reed. Recent form has been mixed—a fifth place, then a fourth, bookended by some runs out of the frame—but the horse continues to race actively, having been out just days ago.

Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The partnership between horse and rider has yet to yield a win across their ten races together, and Far Away West's record at Class 5 level, where it runs most of the time, stands at zero wins from 15 attempts. It is the kind of horse that shows up to compete week after week without breaking through, a solid if unspectacular campaigner that gives its the yard honest effort without delivering the big moment they might hope for.
