Contrary To Law
Three races in and still waiting for a breakthrough — Contrary To Law has a record of no wins and no places from its three outings so far. For a 3-year-old that is not necessarily a crisis; plenty of horses take time to find their feet, and the season is still alive. But the recent form tells a mixed story. The last three finishes read 9, 4, and 6 going back from the most recent race, which means there has been some modest improvement in the middle but the latest run was the worst of the lot. That is not the direction you want to be travelling.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What works in the horse's favour is the trainer standing behind it. J P Murtagh's yard, based at Coolaghknock Glebe in Co Kildare, has sent out 56 winners already this season — a genuinely productive operation. When a stable is firing at that rate, they tend to know which horses are worth persisting with and which are not. The fact that Contrary To Law raced just 14 days ago and is still active suggests the team has not given up on finding the right opportunity.
At this stage, Contrary To Law is a work in progress — a young horse still learning the job in the hands of a yard that clearly knows how to get results. Whether the penny drops soon is the question.
