Sixandahalf
Sixandahalf has been a consistent if unspectacular servant for trainer
Gavin Cromwell's Navan yard, winning 4 of its 17 races and placing in 12 others — a win rate that puts it in the capable-but-not-exceptional bracket. The 6-year-old's last victory came at Fairyhouse on 11 January 2025, more than a year and a half ago, which points to a horse that has drifted from winning form without quite fading from contention altogether. Its recent work — two places in the last six runs, sandwiched around a pair of mid-field efforts — suggests it remains competitive enough to threaten rivals but lacks the sustained edge needed to close out races at present.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The clearest thread running through Sixandahalf's record is its affinity for soft ground. On wet or muddy terrain, the horse has won half its races (2 from 4), a figure that stands in sharp contrast to its overall win rate of roughly 1 in every 4 starts. This is not coincidence. For the yard of a horse with a long lay-off since its last success, ground conditions become a usable angle — the kind of detail that separates a horse worth backing from one destined to run disappointingly. Sixandahalf raced just yesterday, so it is active again, but the months between wins suggest the yard has been searching for the right set of circumstances to spark another victory. Soft ground and the right race profile may be precisely what this horse has been waiting for.
