The recent form figures of 5-6-3-10-3-5 paint a picture of a horse that runs consistently without ever quite threatening to win. Two third-place finishes in there suggest Woody Y Fernandez gets competitive, but the gaps between those efforts — a sixth, a tenth — hint at inconsistency. It's the kind of form that keeps everyone hopeful without giving them much to shout about.
Most of its racing has come at Class 6, which is the entry level of British Flat racing — the races where horses are finding their feet or simply operating at the level that suits them. Woody Y Fernandez has run eight times at that level without winning, which is a detail worth sitting with. These aren't the toughest fields in the country, and yet a win hasn't come. That said, the yard behind the horse — Ivan Furtado's operation in Wiseton, South Yorkshire — has sent out 34 winners this season, so this isn't a team short on know-how. They'll be looking for the right opportunity to get Woody Y Fernandez off the mark, and having raced as recently as yesterday, that search is very much still ongoing.
