The highlight so far came just this week at Sligo on 12 May 2026, where Hey Now broke through for that first career win. Getting off the mark is a significant moment for any horse — it settles questions about whether it can actually win, and opens doors to better opportunities down the line. The recent form of 1-5-4 tells a slightly uneven story, with the Sligo victory sandwiched around a couple of modest efforts, but the fact that the win came most recently is exactly the right way around. Horses in form heading into their next race are always more interesting than those chasing a comeback.
Hey Now is trained by Andrew McNamara, based in Athboy, County Meath. The yard has sent out 7 winners already this season, which suggests it is a operation in decent nick right now — horses leaving Athboy are arriving at the track ready to run. With Hey Now having raced just yesterday and a win fresh in its legs, it will be worth watching where McNamara aims it next.
