Sayitfirst
Sayitfirst is a 10-year-old who has spent a long career grinding away at lower-level races, winning just 3 of his 37 outings but showing up regularly in the placings — he has finished second or third in 11 races. That consistency, modest as it is, speaks to a horse who belongs in the game and keeps his yard honest, even if he is not setting the track alight. His win rate of roughly 1 in every 12 races is the kind of record you see in horses who run often, stay sound, and pick up the occasional victory when conditions align.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
He came to life at longer distances. Over 1 mile 6 furlongs to 2 miles, Sayitfirst has found his best form, winning 1 of 7 races at that trip — a 14% win rate that is markedly better than his overall figures. His most recent victory came at Sligo in October last year, but the real story of his current season is his recent form. In his last six runs he has placed three times, including a second and two other minor placings, suggesting he still has races in him even at this stage of his career.
Ridden most often by Diarmuid Moloney, the partnership has yielded just one win from nine races together, though Moloney has been faithful to the horse. For trainer Darren Collins, Sayitfirst represents the kind of dependable member of the yard that does not win often but earns his keep through persistence. The horse raced just a day ago, which shows he remains active and ready to run. At ten years old and with 37 races under his belt, Sayitfirst is a veteran who has found his niche — not a star, but a steady presence who still knows how to win when given the chance.
