Its Not Over Yet
Its Not Over Yet is the kind of horse that keeps the yard hoping, even when the results don't always justify it. The seven-year-old has been running for almost two years now, and while the record — 2 wins from 24 races — tells a story of modest ability, there's a detail worth noting: with jockey
Phillip Enright in the saddle, the horse wins roughly 1 in every 6 races (2 wins from 12). That's nearly double its overall win rate, which suggests a real partnership there, the sort of thing that can make the difference between a horse that runs OK and one that tries for you.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The wins themselves bracket a particular period. Its Not Over Yet broke through at Tipperary in July 2024, then struck again at Roscommon three months later in September — but nothing has landed since, a dry spell now stretching back almost two years. The recent form is telling: from its last six outings, the horse has been placed twice (finishing third both times) but has otherwise failed to trouble the judges, with finishes of eighth, eighth, fifth, and fourth. It raced just a day ago, so it remains actively campaigned by trainer Oliver McKiernan's yard at Rathcoole in County Dublin, a small operation that has had six winners so far this season. That's exactly where you'd expect to see a horse like this — in the hands of people patient enough to keep turning it out, even if the scoreline reads more hope than triumph.
