Milan Forth

The partnership with jockey Mr K P Healy is worth noting. In 8 races together, they have won 3 times — that works out to roughly 38%, or wins in 3 of every 8 rides. For context, that is a remarkably high hit rate between horse and rider, suggesting the two have a genuine understanding. When Healy is in the saddle, Milan Forth tends to perform. That kind of chemistry between jockey and horse is rarer than it sounds.

The recent run of form does give pause, though. Milan Forth has not won in its last 6 races, with finishes of 8th, 5th, 7th, 5th, 2nd, and 4th working backwards from that encouraging second place — and the most recent run, a 4th, hints the horse may be finding its way back. The last win came at Cork on 3 January 2026, around five months ago, and before that the first career win arrived at Clonmel in January 2025. So this is a horse with a proven ability to win, even if it has gone quiet lately.

Racing just one day ago, Milan Forth is clearly an active and busy campaigner. The fact that Cavanagh's yard has sent out just one winner this season puts things in perspective — resources are modest, expectations are managed. But with a horse that wins 1 in 4 races across its career and a jockey partnership that clicks at nearly 2 in 5, there is every reason to think Milan Forth is not done making its mark. Whether the Cork form can be recaptured soon is the question worth watching.
