Fond Farewell
Fond Farewell is a 7-year-old who has found winning harder to come by than most — just 1 victory from 19 races, a win rate of around 1 in every 19 outings. That sole success came at Limerick back in April 2023, and it has been a long road since: 39 months have passed without a return to the winner's enclosure, and the last six races have brought a string of mid-field finishes at best.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Where the horse does show a flicker of something more promising is at distances around a mile and three or four furlongs. In five races at that range, Fond Farewell has won once — that's 1 in 5, or 20%, which is a dramatically better record than across the career as a whole. It suggests that when conditions are right and the trip suits, there is a performance in here worth waiting for.
The yard behind the horse is Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero, based at Oldcastle in Cheshire, and they are clearly having a productive season — 43 winners sent out already, which is the kind of tally that tells you this is a team that knows how to place a horse to win. The fact that Fond Farewell raced just yesterday shows the team is keeping the horse busy and active, and with a trainer operation firing on all cylinders, it would be no surprise if they found the right opportunity to get this one back in the winner's photograph before long.
