A Good Yarn
A Good Yarn is a three-year-old still hunting for that first victory. Over three races so far, the horse has picked up one place finish but has yet to cross the line first, managing instead a run of fifth, third, and sixth from its last three outings. That third-place finish at least suggests some promise — it means the horse is competitive at the level it is running at, capable of beating some rivals but not quite all of them, which is where most horses sit early in their careers.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse is trained by Aidan Anthony Howard at Curragh, a yard that has had a modest season so far with two winners to its name. Howard will be hoping A Good Yarn can add to that tally soon. With the horse still active and racing just days ago, there is every chance it will be back out soon chasing that breakthrough win.
