The recent form figures — 9, 6, 8, 7, 8 — tell their own story. Finishing in the bottom half of the field in every single race, and doing so consistently, suggests this is not a horse that has been unlucky or narrowly denied. It simply has not been competitive yet. Whether that changes depends on finding the right conditions, the right race, or just a day when everything clicks.
What is worth noting is the yard behind the horse. Trainer Neil Mulholland operates out of Limpley Stoke in Wiltshire and has sent out 61 winners already this season — that is a busy, productive operation that knows how to get horses winning. A trainer with that kind of output does not give up on a horse easily, and the fact that For Old Times Sake is still active, having raced just 18 days ago, suggests the team still believes there is a race to be won somewhere. At Class 4 — the mid-tier level of racing — the competition is not the toughest around, and that is where this horse has been aimed. Zero wins from three attempts at that level is not encouraging, but it also means the yard has not been throwing it in out of its depth.
For now, For Old Times Sake is a horse that owes its the yard a result. It will not be one to follow blindly, but with a trainer in good form pulling the strings, the first win might be closer than the bare record suggests.
