Sticwiththeprocess

Six years old and still searching for consistency, Sticwiththeprocess has shown enough promise to keep the yard — the team at Kill, Co Kildare — patient through a career that has produced 1 win and 5 places from 10 races, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 10. That might not sound spectacular, but the horse has been placed more often than not, suggesting it runs its race every time and rarely has a bad day.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The standout moment came at Fairyhouse on 4 November 2025, when Sticwiththeprocess got off the mark for trainer T M Walsh. Fairyhouse is a sharp, turning track in County Meath with a big racing reputation, and winning there means something. It was a long time coming — the horse's only victory in ten outings — but it arrived, and that matters.

Mark Walsh is the regular partner in the saddle, and together they have a record of 1 win from 6 races — wins roughly 1 in every 6 times they team up. That 17% figure is actually a decent hit rate for a horse at this level, and the partnership clearly has an understanding worth building on. T M Walsh's yard has sent out 6 winners this season, so this is an operation that knows how to get a horse ready to perform.

What is worth watching is whether that Fairyhouse win proves to be a turning point. The recent form — a fall or unseated rider, then a second, a fifth, a third, the win, and another second before that — tells the story of a horse that is competitive and finishes in the money regularly but has not yet found the knack of winning routinely. Raced just one day ago, Sticwiththeprocess is clearly being kept busy, which suggests the team believes there is more to come. Whether the horse can add to that single win is the question worth following.
