Are You Busy
There's not a great deal to shout about on paper with this seven-year-old, but every horse has its moment, and Are You Busy found theirs at Thurles back in March 2025. That win — the only one from nine races so far, a return of roughly 1 in every 9 outings — came around 15 months ago and remains the sole peak on an otherwise quiet career profile.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Since that Thurles victory the form has been disappointing, with finishes of eighth, seventh, sixteenth, and fourth in the races that followed, though a run just yesterday shows the team are still actively campaigning. Whether they are chasing a repeat of that Thurles spark or simply keeping the horse ticking over, the search for a second win is ongoing. At this stage of a career, that patience from the yard says something in itself.
