The recent form figures tell their own story. Reading from most recent to oldest — 5, 2, 11, 10, 8, 13 — there is a real mixed bag here. The second place stands out as a clear career highlight, a sign that the ability is there on its day, but the double-digit finishes either side of it suggest consistency has been the problem. A horse that can finish second but also finish eleventh is one that keeps its the yard guessing, and not always in a good way.
Friends Of Barry is trained by the partnership of John E and Thomas Kiely, a yard that has sent out 2 winners so far this season. That is a modest tally, which means finding the right race for a horse without a win to its name requires some careful placement. The good news is that this horse raced just one day ago, so it is fit and active — the search for that elusive first victory is very much ongoing.
