P A Fahy

Those 9 winners this season are part of a career total of 22, all accumulated since Fahy took out a training licence in 2021. Building to that kind of number from scratch, without years of inherited infrastructure or a famous name behind you, takes patience and steady work. The yard is still growing, but the direction is clearly upward.

One area where Fahy's runners genuinely stand out is on wet, muddy ground. When conditions get heavy and the track churns up — the kind of days that separate horses that genuinely handle it from those just making up the numbers — Fahy's runners win 2 from 16, a 12% rate. That is noticeably better than the overall seasonal average, which suggests either a knack for placing horses in the right conditions or a string that naturally takes to that sort of test. Either way, it is worth knowing when the forecast turns wet.

The most regular jockey in the yard is Harry Sexton, who has ridden 40 times for Fahy and picked up 2 wins — a 1-in-20 return that reflects the yard's modest overall level rather than anything to concern either party. More eye-catching is the partnership with Famous Figure, where Fahy has saddled the horse to 1 win from 3 races together. A small sample, but a productive one relative to its size.

Fahy is not yet training at the top level, and nothing in these numbers pretends otherwise. But a yard that has more than doubled its win rate year-on-year, shows a clear edge in specific conditions, and is quietly building a career total is one worth keeping an eye on. The early signs suggest a trainer still finding their feet, but finding them quickly.
