Cool Native
Cool Native is a 6-year-old who has yet to win under rules — the formal racing world of professional jockeys and organised race meetings — but she arrives in
Gordon Elliott's yard with something worth noting: she already knows how to win. Before her four races in this sphere, she won a point-to-point for Denis Murphy, the rough-and-ready amateur format that serves as a proving ground for many future stars. Elliott himself has said she showed a good attitude that day, which matters more than it might sound. Attitude in a racehorse — the willingness to keep trying when it gets hard — is something you can't train in; you either have it or you don't.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The record so far reads zero wins from four races, with two third-place finishes to her name. She hasn't threatened the winner yet, but she hasn't been disgraced either. Elliott's operation is one of the most powerful in Ireland — 210 winners sent out this season alone, which is a staggering number when you consider most trainers would celebrate 20. When a yard of that size and quality keeps persevering with a horse, it usually means they see something worth waiting for.
The next step, according to Elliott, is a race restricted to mares on the flat — a sensible spot to build confidence and find her feet. With a yard firing at that volume behind her and a competitive instinct already proven over fences in the point-to-point field, Cool Native is a horse to keep an eye on rather than write off.
