Sign From Above

The most recent of those wins came at Gowran Park in October 2025, and it matters because it was not ancient history. Seven months ago is recent enough to show this horse still has something to offer, even at eight years old. Before that, the career got started at Down Royal back in September 2022, and Sign From Above has been a consistent presence on the track ever since. Thirty races over that span is a decent body of work — this is a horse that has been tested regularly and kept coming back.

One detail worth noting is the preference for wet or muddy ground. With 2 wins from 8 races in those conditions — a 25% win rate, or roughly 1 in every 4 — Sign From Above is markedly more dangerous when the weather does its worst. On a dry, fast surface, the numbers thin out. So if you ever want to know when to pay attention, check the forecast first.

The partnership with jockey Sam Ewing is another thread worth following. Together they have won 2 from 9 races — about 1 in every 4.5 — which is a meaningfully better return than the horse's overall average. When Ewing is in the saddle, something clicks. Trainer Peter Fahey, based in Monasterevin in County Kildare, has had 14 winners already this season, so the yard is in good form and clearly knows how to place a horse to give it a chance.

Recent form shows a mix of results — a win, a couple of placed efforts, and a few that did not go to plan — but the fact that Sign From Above raced just one day ago tells you this is an active, fit horse still very much in the middle of a campaign. At eight, with a Gowran Park win on the board from just seven months back and a trainer firing on all cylinders, this is not a horse anyone should be writing off.
