Forget The Way

The numbers sharpen considerably when you know where to look. Over distances between a mile and six furlongs and two miles, Forget The Way has won 2 of its 14 races at those trips — roughly 1 in every 7, which is well above its overall rate. But the really striking figure is at Huntingdon. There, it has won 2 of just 6 visits, making it a genuine course specialist at one of Britain's more distinctive tracks. Winning a third of your races anywhere is the kind of record that makes people pay attention. Its last win came there in November 2025, and while that was seven months ago, recent form suggests it hasn't lost its appetite — it has posted a win and two runner-up finishes in its last six races, with its most recent outing just yesterday.

Tom Cannon is the regular partner, having ridden it in 12 of its races together, though they have only found the winner's enclosure once as a pair. That said, a horse this consistent does not need to win to be useful — it just needs to keep turning up, which Forget The Way reliably does. James Owen trains it out of Newmarket, and with 204 winners sent out this season alone, this is a yard operating at serious volume and with obvious confidence. Forget The Way is not the headline act, competing mostly at Class 4 level — the solid, workmanlike middle tier of British racing — but within that world, on the right course at the right distance, it is a horse worth taking seriously.
