Fiver Friday

The win rate tells a similar story: 7 wins from 34 races works out at roughly 1 in every 5 — or 21% if you like a clean number — and over the last six races it has been even sharper, winning 2 of them with a recent run of 4th, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd (reading from most recent). That is a horse that has found form and held it, not a one-hit wonder. The last victory came at Bellewstown on 18 April, just five weeks ago, so this is not a horse dusting off old memories — it is actively competing and winning right now.

The distance sweet spot is clear. Over one mile one furlong to one mile two furlongs, Fiver Friday has won 2 from 6, a win rate of 33% — roughly 1 in every 3. In racing terms, finding the trip that suits a horse can make all the difference, and at that range this one visibly clicks into gear. There is also a course to watch for: at Naas, it has won twice from five visits, which suggests something about how that track suits its style. Two wins from five at the same venue is not a coincidence — it is a pattern worth noting.

Behind all of this is Gavin Cromwell's operation, which has sent out 97 winners already this season. That is not a yard that stumbles into success. Ninety-seven winners means horses are being placed cleverly, trained well, and sent out ready to run. Fiver Friday first won back in August 2023 at Musselburgh and has kept progressing since, competing regularly at Class 3 level — a solid, competitive tier where the fields are tough and you have to earn every win. The fact it is still finding the winner's enclosure at six, with form this good over the last six races, suggests there is more to come from this one yet.
