Are You In Or Out

The trouble is consistency elsewhere. Her most recent win came at Fairyhouse five months ago on 28 May, and she has not won in her last six runs—a lean spell that includes a pair of double-digit placings at positions 19 and 21. She was last seen finishing in 12th place just a day ago, suggesting she remains active and her the yard have not given up on her. James Ryan, his regular jockey, has piloted him in seven races and won once aboard him (a 14% win rate), which is slightly better than his overall record but not dramatically so.

Trainer Conor David Maxwell, based at Stamullen in County Meath, has managed to extract enough from this horse to make him a winning proposition at his two favoured venues. With seven winners sent out from the yard this season, Maxwell appears to be a competent operator, and there is logic in running Are You In Or Out back at Fairyhouse on normal ground when the opportunity arises. The horse is five now, past her juvenile peak but not yet at an age where decline is inevitable. For a yard looking for a reliable winner at a familiar track, she remains a candidate—just not a consistent one anywhere else.
