Brave Josee
Seven races, no wins, and a best finish of second place — Brave Josee is a horse that has shown enough to suggest it belongs on a racecourse, but not yet enough to reach the winner's enclosure. The four-year-old has placed twice from its seven outings, which means it has finished in the top three roughly 2 times in 7, but that elusive first win continues to slip away.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form makes for mixed reading. A second-place finish is sandwiched between some disappointing efforts — a tenth, an eighth, a seventh, and a fourteenth — which suggests the horse runs in bursts rather than with any great consistency. That said, it raced just yesterday, so the yard are clearly keeping it busy and looking for opportunities.
Brave Josee is trained by Declan Queally, based at Cappagh in County Waterford. The yard has been in decent nick this season, sending out 26 winners, which tells you this is a trainer who knows how to get horses ready to win. The fact that Brave Josee hasn't broken through yet is unlikely to be for want of trying on the training side. Sometimes a horse just needs the right race on the right day, and with a trainer hitting those numbers, the infrastructure is certainly there to find it one.
