Out On Friday

Out On Friday has been a steady, if unspectacular, worker in Irish racing for a decade. The 10-year-old has won 6 races from 58 starts—roughly 1 win in every 10 races—and collected 11 places besides, a record that tells the story of a horse that shows up, tries hard, and occasionally gets the job done. At this stage of his career, that consistency is the real story.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Auto-Generated

The horse has always preferred normal ground, where he picks up wins far more often than on faster or softer tracks. On normal conditions, Out On Friday has won 6 of his 23 races (roughly 1 in 4), a significant uplift on his overall record. He also seems to settle into races over the longer distances—between a mile and a half and two miles—where he has won 4 of 24 attempts (just under 1 in 6). At Fairyhouse, he is something of a course specialist, having won twice from six races there, suggesting he knows the place and handles it well.

Recent form tells a harder story. Out On Friday has not won in his last six races, a drought stretching back to May 2025, when he won at Roscommon 16 months ago. His most recent runs show the pattern of an older horse grinding through decent efforts—a second-place finish, a seventh, another second recently—but the wins have dried up. Wesley Joyce, his most frequent partner, has ridden him 15 times and won twice, a 13% win rate that mirrors the horse's broader struggles to find the winner's circle. Trained by Philip M Byrne, Out On Friday remains active, having raced just a day ago, still hunting that seventh career win.
