Desert Swing
Desert Swing is a four-year-old horse trained by
Andrew Kinirons at his Newbridge yard in County Kildare, currently without a win from three career races. The horse has shown some modest improvement in recent weeks — finishing fifth on the last outing, up from ninth the time before — though an earlier run saw it come home 15th. With that recent form trending in the right direction, there's at least a suggestion that Kinirons' team may be beginning to crack what has been an unforgiving pattern so far.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The yard itself is having a respectable season, with six winners sent out already, so there is genuine racing talent on the premises. For Desert Swing, the next challenge will be converting this slight upward curve into something more concrete. At four years old, time is not endless, but the horse remains active and in regular racing — which means the Kinirons team believes there is still a race to be won.
