Fast Felix

Fast Felix is a horse that knows how to place but struggles to win. At eight years old, the horse has raced 26 times and won just twice — a win rate of roughly 1 in every 13 races. That record tells you something important: Fast Felix is a reliable type who finishes in the money often enough, with eight placings alongside those two wins, but he is not the horse you back when you need a winner.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

His most recent form shows exactly this pattern. In his last six races, he has finished seventh, fourth, seventh, fourth, ninth, and most recently seventh again. That is consistent mediocrity — good enough to stay competitive in mid-range races, not good enough to trouble the winner's enclosure. His last win came at Listowel on 25 September 2025, nearly eleven months ago now, which means Fast Felix is in the grip of a serious drought. He raced just yesterday, so he is an active horse, but the gap between his last victory and today is a long one for any animal.

Eoin Christopher McCarthy trains Fast Felix from Athea in County Limerick, and the yard is having a solid season with 15 winners sent out already. However, Fast Felix has not been one of them — at least not recently. The horse's regular jockey is G B Noonan, but that partnership has not yielded a single win from nine races together, which suggests they may not quite be the right combination. Fast Felix won his first race at Killarney on 23 August 2025, and his second at Listowel just over a month later, but he has failed to add to that tally in the many months since. For a horse at this level, consistency in the placings is something, but that long gap without a winner is hard to ignore.
