Are You Joking
At five years old and with two races under its belt, Are You Joking is still very much at the beginning of its story. So far, the results have been modest — no wins and no places from two outings, finishing sixth on its most recent run 18 days ago. That is not unusual for a young horse still learning its trade, and with the yard clearly in good form, there may be better days ahead.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The trainer is Charlie Longsdon, based in Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire.

Are You Joking has not shown it yet, but it is in capable hands.
