Utmost Respect

The horse is trained by Richard and Peter Fahey at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, a yard that has been productive this season with twenty-three winners. Oisin Orr, who rides for the stable, has partnered Utmost Respect five times and won once together — a 20% win rate, better than the horse's overall record. That suggests the partnership has promise, even if recent runs have not delivered results. When stepped up to compete at the highest level — Class 1 or 2 races — Utmost Respect has struggled badly, failing to win in three attempts at that grade. The horse appears better suited to racing in lower classes, where it has earned its only victory and both placed finishes. With no win in the last fifteen months and a pattern of modest form, Utmost Respect looks like a horse still searching for consistent progress.
