Go Athletico

The recent form tells a concerning story. In its last six races, Go Athletico has finished outside the top 3 five times, with only a fourth-place finish at The Curragh offering anything to build on. It raced just yesterday, so the team is clearly still testing it, but there is no sign yet that a turnaround is coming. What is interesting is the partnership with jockey Adam Caffrey, who has ridden the horse eight times without a single win — a stark contrast to the animal's career win rate, suggesting either the pairing has not quite clicked or the horse's best days may be behind it.

Trainer Adrian McGuinness's yard at Lusk has been prolific this season with 45 winners already, so there is plenty of firepower in the operation. Whether Go Athletico can rediscover the form that brought those three wins earlier in its career remains to be seen, but at eight years old and winless for over a year, it is running out of time to prove it still has something left to offer.
