Iamagetaway

There is a certain irony in a horse called Iamagetaway who cannot quite make a clean escape from the chasing pack. The seven-year-old has managed just 1 win from 14 races — roughly 1 in every 14 outings — and that sole victory came at Limerick back in October 2024, now nearly 19 months ago. Since then, six races have come and gone without a winner's enclosure visit, with finishes of 6th, 5th, 10th, 7th, 3rd, and 10th telling a story of a horse that can find a place here and there but rarely threatens at the sharp end.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's detailed breakdown

That said, the address is hard to argue with. Iamagetaway is trained by Gordon Elliott at Longwood in County Meath, one of the most powerful yards in Irish racing. Elliott's team has sent out 210 winners already this season — a staggering number that underlines just how well-oiled the operation is. Being part of that setup means Iamagetaway has access to top facilities and experienced handlers, even if the horse itself hasn't quite justified the postcode yet.

Kevin Sexton rides most often, partnering the horse in 6 of its 14 races for that single win — a win rate of 17% together, or roughly 1 in every 6 when they team up. That's actually a more respectable return than the overall career record suggests, and it's worth noting that the Limerick win did come with Sexton in the saddle. The pair may need to find that chemistry again if Iamagetaway is going to add to its tally.

With just 1 win and 3 places from 14 races and the last victory now firmly in the rear-view mirror, this is not a horse setting the world alight. But it raced just one day ago, so it is clearly fit, active, and still being given chances by one of the shrewdest operations in the game. Elliott doesn't keep running horses out of sentiment — if Iamagetaway is still making the track, the team believes there is a race to be won somewhere. Whether the horse agrees remains to be seen.
