Il Pirata
Five races in, still looking for that first winner — Il Pirata is a five-year-old that has placed twice without ever getting its nose in front. Two places from five races is not nothing; it means the horse has shown up and competed on a couple of occasions. But the recent run of three finishes in sixth and seventh suggests things have gone a little flat, and the numbers are honest: zero wins from five attempts tells you this is a horse still waiting for its moment.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What makes the picture slightly more interesting is the timing. Il Pirata raced just yesterday, which means it is right in the middle of a busy campaign and clearly considered fit and ready by its trainer. Mrs Lorna Fowler runs the operation out of Summerhill in Co Meath, a yard that has sent out three winners already this season — so there is form in the team, even if Il Pirata has not been the one delivering it yet. Sometimes a horse just needs the right day, the right race, the right conditions to click. It has not clicked yet, but it is clearly being kept busy while the yard wait for that to change.
For now, Il Pirata is a horse to keep an eye on rather than one to shout about.
