This Farh

The overall record tells one story, but the course numbers at Lingfield Park tell another. Two wins from 6 races there — winning 1 in every 3 — is the kind of figure that makes trainers and punters alike circle the track on a racecard. That Lingfield success started on 7 February 2025 and appears to have given the horse a platform to build on. Some horses simply take to a particular track — the shape of the bends, the surface, the way the race tends to unfold — and Lingfield looks like that place for This Farh.

On normal ground conditions, the record is striking: 2 wins from just 5 races, meaning it has won 40% of the time when conditions suit. That is a huge number. Compare that to its overall win rate of roughly 1 in 6, and it becomes clear that ground conditions really matter here. When the track rides normally, this horse is a very different proposition.

Trained by David Loughnane at Stoke Heath in Shropshire, This Farh operates in a yard that has sent out 38 winners this season — a productive operation by any measure. Regular partner Laura Pearson has yet to get off the mark together in 5 shared rides, but the horse's recent winners suggest it is perfectly capable when things fall right. Racing just yesterday and already a winner this week, This Farh is very much a horse in form — and one worth watching whenever it lines up at Lingfield.
