Ernie McCrew
Ernie McCrew is a three-year-old still hunting his first career win after nine races without crossing the line in front. The horse has shown enough promise to pick up two placed finishes — a mark that suggests he belongs in the mix — but consistency has let him down. Over his last six outings, he has finished in the placings just twice, most recently a fifth place, with a seventh his worst recent result. It's the kind of form that tells you there is a decent horse in there somewhere, but something is not quite clicking.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by J S Moore at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, Ernie McCrew is part of a yard that has had a solid season, sending out 17 winners already. Moore's operation is clearly finding winners elsewhere, which at least suggests the trainer knows how to get a horse to the line. For Ernie McCrew, the challenge now is simple: he needs to break through. At three years old, he still has time, but he has had nine chances and has not managed to get the job done yet. The next few races will be telling.
