Journey So Far
Journey So Far is a 6-year-old with a modest record but a jockey connection worth watching. The horse has won just once in 12 races—a victory at Tramore back in May—and finished in the money twice more, which gives it a career win rate of around 1 in 12. That is hardly eye-catching, yet the picture brightens when you look at the rider.
Keith Donoghue has partnered the horse five times and won on it once, a win rate of roughly 1 in 5, which is notably above what Journey So Far manages overall. It suggests that when Donoghue is in the saddle, something clicks.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse raced again just yesterday, finishing ninth, so it is actively campaigned and clearly fit. Its form over the last six runs tells a story of inconsistency—two mid-field efforts bookended by lower placings and one placed finish. That scattered pattern is the kind trainers hope to straighten out, and Gavin Cromwell's Navan yard, which has sent out 96 winners already this season, is no small operation. The fact that Journey So Far's sole win came two months ago and has produced no win since suggests the horse remains a work in progress, a candidate still searching for the consistency that separates a regular winner from a sporadic one. For now, it is a horse worth following when Donoghue is booked—and worth ignoring when he is not.
