Sign From Above

Trained by Peter Fahey out of Monasterevin in County Kildare, Sign From Above is part of a yard that has sent out 14 winners already this season — a team clearly in decent form. His most regular partner in the saddle is Sam Ewing, and that combination has clicked: 2 wins from 9 races together, a win rate of 22%, or just over 1 in every 4 rides. That is meaningfully better than the horse's overall average, suggesting Ewing has developed a good understanding of how to get the best from him.

One thing Sign From Above genuinely enjoys is wet or muddy ground. In 8 races on soft going he has won twice — a 25% win rate, or 1 in every 4 races — compared to a 1-in-9 record everywhere else. That is a significant gap, and it means on a wet autumn or winter afternoon, he becomes a much more interesting proposition than his overall record suggests. His first career win came at Down Royal back in September 2022, and his most recent victory was at Gowran Park in October 2025 — eight months ago now.

His recent form makes for interesting reading: a win four runs back, then a fourth, then a blank, then finishing tenth, then two blanks. He raced just one day ago, so whatever happened in that most recent outing is still very fresh. The overall picture is of a horse who finds the winner's enclosure every now and then without being a consistent front-runner — the kind that keeps you watching, because you know the ability is in there. At eight years old, he is an experienced campaigner who knows his job, and with Peter Fahey's yard firing well, another victory would surprise nobody.
