Hay Baby
Nine races, one place, zero wins. That is the honest summary of Hay Baby's career so far, and at seven years old, the clock is not exactly slowing down. The one placing on record shows the ability to at least threaten the frame, but the wins have simply never come — and a sequence of sixth, fifth, fourth, fifth, and sixth in the last five completed races paints a picture of a horse that runs respectably without ever quite getting over the line.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The most recent form reading shows a dash before that sequence, which typically indicates a non-completion, so the recent run of results has not been straightforward either. Racing just one day ago, Hay Baby is clearly an active campaigner, and trainer Peter Fahey has not given up on finding the right opportunity.
Fahey operates out of Monasterevin in County Kildare and has sent out 14 winners already this season, so this is a yard that knows how to get horses winning. The fact that Hay Baby has not joined that tally yet is the puzzle worth watching. Sometimes a horse just needs one thing to click — a different trip, a different surface, a drop in grade — and a trainer with a productive season behind them is well placed to find it. Whether Hay Baby can reward the patience being shown remains the question.
