Illtakehimmyself
Illtakehimmyself has not found the winner's enclosure yet in nine races, but the five-year-old has shown enough to suggest it belongs in a race, just not quite at the line. The horse has picked up three places from those nine attempts—a zero from nine win record, but enough consistency to avoid being written off entirely. Its recent form reads 4-3-2-2-5-9, which tells a mixed story: two solid placings suggest the horse can still run competitively, though a ninth-place finish most recently and a fifth before that indicate it is hitting inconsistency.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by E McNamara at Rathkeale in County Limerick, Illtakehimmyself races for a yard that has sent out 22 winners already this season, so the trainer clearly knows how to get horses performing. That said, this particular horse remains one of the yard's harder nuts to crack. The fact that it raced just yesterday—and finished fourth, not far off a place—suggests the trainer is still searching for the right spot, the right conditions, or the right distance where it might finally break through. At this level of performance, every race is a chance to learn, and Illtakehimmyself is still being given those chances.
