Toofareastiswest

At 10 years old, Toofareastiswest is a veteran of the racecourse with 22 races behind him and a career record that tells the story of a horse who has spent most of his working life making the frame without quite getting his nose in front. Two wins and six placed finishes from those 22 outings adds up to a win rate of around 1 in every 11 races — respectable enough, but not the profile of a horse who makes a habit of collecting trophies.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's Detailed Breakdown
Auto-Generated

The highlight of his career came at Thurles in December 2023, which stands as his most recent win — now 28 months ago. Before that, his first victory came at Limerick back in April 2022. Two wins across a career spanning nearly three years tells you this is a horse who needs things to fall right, and lately they haven't been. His last six races have produced two finishes outside the places and several non-completions, and his two most recent completed runs saw him finish 11th and 10th — well beaten on both occasions.

What keeps the story going is that Toofareastiswest raced just yesterday, so the team clearly still believes there's something left to find. At 10, horses can absolutely still win races, but the form line right now is pointing in the wrong direction, and another victory would mean ending a drought that stretches back to the winter of 2023.
