Barton Sky
Barton Sky is an eight-year-old horse with a tough record to turn around. Over five career races, it has yet to find the winner's circle, finishing without a place in every outing. Most recently, it ran just yesterday and came home in fifth — the best result in its last five starts, which reads 5-6-12-7-11 going backwards through time. Before that fifth-place finish, it had struggled through a run of three consecutive races without even placing, including a twelfth-place effort that suggests the racing is proving difficult.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by John Joseph Hanlon at Bagenalstown in County Carlow, Barton Sky runs for a yard that has found success elsewhere this season, with eleven winners already sent out. The challenge now is whether this eight-year-old can improve enough to justify continued racing or whether a change in approach might help it find its feet. With racing actively ongoing — it was out just yesterday — there is still time for a turnaround, though the evidence so far suggests Barton Sky needs to find something more if it is to break through into the winners' enclosure.
