Sledgehammer
Four races, no wins, no places — Sledgehammer has yet to land a blow. The six-year-old has run four times without troubling the judge, finishing sixth, sixth, and fifth in the races where a finishing position was recorded, with one run producing no result at all. That is a tough sequence by any measure, and at this stage of a horse's career you would hope to see at least some encouraging signs beginning to emerge.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by C W J Farrell out of Bunclody in County Wexford, Sledgehammer is part of a yard that has sent out six winners this season — so the operation clearly knows how to get results. That makes the search for a first win all the more pressing. Having raced as recently as yesterday, Sledgehammer is clearly in active work and the team have not given up on finding the right opportunity. Sometimes it simply takes time to find the race that suits, and trainers with winners on the board tend to be patient and purposeful about placing their horses.
There is nothing here yet to write home about, but the story is not over. The next run will be worth watching.
