The partnership with regular jockey J M Sheridan tells part of the story. They have combined ten times without a win, which suggests either the horse's ceiling is simply below the winning line, or that particular pairing hasn't yet found the right race or conditions to click. Sheridan isn't riding a horse without ability — Pansy Poe's recent form shows it hitting the frame often enough (finishing as high as second place in its most recent outing) — but there's a gap between running well and running well enough.
Fahey's yard is clearly active and winning races this season, which means Pansy Poe is training alongside horses capable of getting the job done. Whether the horse ever graduates from nearly-horse to winner remains open, but the pattern is now long-established. After 17 races without a breakthrough, Pansy Poe represents that familiar racing archetype: solid, honest, genuinely placed to compete, yet mysteriously unable to find the line first.
