Zanahiyr

The horse's best form has come paired with jockey Jack Kennedy, who has steered it to 4 wins from 16 rides together — a 25 per cent win rate that is notably sharper than Zanahiyr's overall record. That suggests Kennedy knows how to get the best out of this one, finding the right moment and pace to make its effort count. Its last win came at Bellewstown on 26 August 2025, now thirteen months in the past, which signals a long dry spell. More recently, Zanahiyr has had a mixed run: two wins in the last six outings, but also a complete blank finish six races ago and a string of places that suggest it is still competitive at the lower levels.

What is telling is that Zanahiyr has never won at the highest class of races — 0 wins from 6 attempts — so the top tier remains out of reach. This is a horse that will continue to pick up occasional wins at smaller meetings and midweek fixtures, a bread-and-butter performer for Elliott's yard rather than a Saturday star. At nine years old and still active, there is life in it yet, but the trajectory points to a horse that has found its groove at modest level and is unlikely to surprise anyone by suddenly stepping up.
