Rainbow Nebula

The journey began in earnest at Ascot in October 2025, which is no small stage for a first win. Ascot carries a reputation, and opening your account there gives you a certain credibility from the off. Since then, Rainbow Nebula has added a second win at Redcar in May 2026 — just three weeks ago — meaning this horse is not living off past glories. It raced only yesterday, which tells you everything about its current fitness and the team's confidence in it. Richard and Peter Fahey, training out of Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, have had nine winners already this season, and Rainbow Nebula is clearly a horse they keep coming back to.

The most striking number in this profile is the record over seven furlongs to a mile: two wins from four races, meaning it has won half of its races at its preferred trip. That is a remarkable conversion rate for any racehorse, and it suggests a horse that really finds its rhythm at that distance. Drop it in at the right conditions over that range and you have a genuine contender.

Billy Garritty has been in the saddle for five of Rainbow Nebula's races and has one win to show for it — winning 1 in every 5 races together. That is a decent ratio, though the recent win at Redcar came another way, which hints that the horse is not entirely dependent on any one partnership to produce its best. The recent form tells its own story: a win, then a win, bracketed by some quieter runs. Horses like this tend to need things to fall right — trip, conditions, company — but when they do, Rainbow Nebula has shown it can deliver. A horse that won at Ascot and is still racing competitively eight months later is one worth keeping an eye on.
