Snaafy
Snaafy is a 3-year-old still chasing a second career win after a breakthrough success at Wolverhampton last December — but the horse has been quiet since. In 15 races overall, it has won just once and finished in the places four times, which puts the win rate at a modest 7%, or roughly 1 win in every 14 starts. That sole victory came on 8 December at Wolverhampton, and nearly 10 months have passed without another trip to the winner's circle. The most recent six runs tell the story: an eighth place, a ninth, then fifth, ninth again, a runner-up finish, and fifth most recently just a day ago. That eighth to ninth place result in the two most recent outings is the kind of form that suggests Snaafy has work to do to recapture that winning moment.Based on TrackLab's analysis

📊 Key numbers
Career totals for this horse
🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Where the horse does show potential is at middle distances between 1m1f and 1m2f — the sweet spot of its running style. Over that range it has won 1 of 8 races, a 12% record that is genuinely better than its overall form. The win came in Class 5 company, the lower tier of racing, and when competing at that level Snaafy has actually managed 1 win from just 4 races — a 25% win rate that suggests it knows how to win small races. Trainer David Loughnane, who runs a winning yard at Stoke Heath in Shropshire that has already sent out 39 winners this season, will be looking to find Snaafy a suitable spot at that distance and level where conditions and opposition align. The horse is active and racing, which means another opportunity is not far away.
