I Bid You Ajou

Trained by Mark Fahey out of Cloneygath in County Kildare, the five-year-old has built a career record of 3 wins and 12 places from 26 races — winning roughly 1 in every 8 or 9 outings overall, which is a decent return at this level. Fahey's yard has been in strong form this season, sending out 24 winners, so this horse is operating within a team that clearly knows what it is doing. Joseph Harnett, who rides it most often, has won 1 of their 6 races together — about 1 in 6 — and the partnership is still developing.

Where the horse really comes alive is over shorter distances on normal ground. At five to six-and-a-half furlongs, it has won 3 of 9 races — one in three, which is a striking number — and on a standard surface it wins 2 from 9 (22%), roughly 1 in every 4 or 5. These are conditions it actively suits rather than merely tolerates, and the numbers show it.

The recent form is a little mixed — no win in the last six races, with finishes of second, eighth, second, seventh, a blank, and third — but there are placing efforts in there that suggest it is still running well without getting the result. The last win came at Fairyhouse on 13 June 2025, and with the horse raced as recently as yesterday and clearly still active, another trip to its favourite track would be the obvious place to watch for it. When Fairyhouse comes around, this is a horse worth noticing.
