May Call You Back

The partnership with jockey Brian Hayes tells its own story. In 17 races together, they have won 5 times — that is roughly 1 in every 3.5 races, a win rate (29%) that comfortably beats the horse's overall average. When Hayes is in the saddle, something clicks. That kind of consistency between horse and rider is not accidental; it suggests a horse that responds well to a jockey who knows it.

The course record at Tramore is worth flagging too. Two wins from 7 races there might not sound like much on paper, but it means this horse wins roughly 1 in every 3.5 times it visits that particular track — and in racing, having a horse that genuinely likes a venue is something trainers actively plan around. Tramore is a tight, turning track in the south of Ireland, and some horses simply take to it while others never do.

The recent form, read right to left from oldest to most recent, goes 1-1-2-14-5--, meaning back-to-back wins followed by a placed run, then a couple of disappointing efforts. That last dash — indicating a non-completion in its most recent outing — will draw attention, but the yard this horse calls home is not the sort to panic. Willie Mullins' team has sent out 229 winners this season alone. That is not a yard that loses sleep over one bad run. The last winning performance came at Gowran Park in November 2025, just over five months ago, so the horse is not wildly out of form — it showed it could still win at that point.

First getting off the mark at Tipperary in July 2024, May Call You Back has since developed into a consistent, track-savvy performer with a proven partnership and a home in one of racing's most formidable operations. The form line has wobbled lately, but with the right race and Hayes back aboard, this is a horse that knows how to win.
