Friends Of Barry
Five races, zero wins, and a best finish of second place — that is the story of Friends Of Barry so far. The five-year-old has been trying to get off the mark without success, and the recent form figures of 2-11-10-8-13 tell their own story: a promising runner-up finish at some point, followed by a slide toward the back of the pack in more recent outings.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That second place is the one bright spot to hold onto. It shows the horse is capable of competing, at least on a good day, but the string of mid-field and rear finishes since then suggests it has struggled to recapture that level. A horse that finishes 11th, 10th, 8th, and 13th across four races is one that trainers and owners are still waiting on — hoping something clicks.
Friends Of Barry is trained by the father-and-son team of John E and Thomas Kiely, a yard that has sent out two winners so far this season. That is a modest tally, and with a horse like this still searching for its first win, they will be hoping patient handling eventually pays off. The horse raced just one day ago, so it is very much in the thick of things right now — whatever happened yesterday is the freshest chapter in a story still very much being written.
