Sam's Favourite
Sam's Favourite is a five-year-old who has yet to find the winner's enclosure, going without a win across all five career races to date. Two of those runs have produced a placed finish — meaning second or third — which at least suggests some ability, but the victories have stayed stubbornly out of reach so far.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Patrick T Foley out of Bagenalstown in County Carlow, the horse runs for a yard that has been in decent form this season, sending out 14 winners. That kind of output shows Foley knows how to get a horse ready to win, so the question is simply when, rather than whether, Sam's Favourite will be competitive enough to break through. Racing just yesterday, the horse is clearly an active campaign at the moment, and with the team in good shape around it, another attempt won't be far away.
