Sayitfirst

Sayitfirst is a 10-year-old who has carved out a modest but steady career on the Irish racing circuit, though her best days appear to be behind her. With 3 wins and 11 places from 39 races, she wins roughly once every 13 outings — a horse for whom place money and minor success have become the norm. Her most recent outing came just a day ago, showing she remains active and still racing at an age when many of her peers have long since retired.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

The horse's form over her last six races tells a story of declining competitiveness. Her results read 8-10-8-–-9-2, meaning she has posted one placing (a second) in her last half-dozen attempts, with the rest finishing further back in the field. Her last win came at Sligo on 1 October 2025, now a full 12 months behind her — a long drought for a horse already running on thin margins. When she does win, it tends to come at distances between 1 mile 6 furlongs and 2 miles, where she has managed 1 win from 7 races, a respectable 14% success rate at her favoured trip.

Trainer Darren Collins has saddled him for most of his career, running him from an undisclosed yard in Ireland. Jockey Diarmuid Moloney has been his most regular partner, though their record together stands at just 1 win from 9 races. For a horse now struggling to find the winner's enclosure, Sayitfirst remains a reliable competitor in smaller races — the kind of horse that earns its keep through consistency rather than brilliance, and whose the yard still believe enough in her to keep running. Whether she can recapture the form that brought her last victory remains to be seen.
