Ladiam
Ladiam is a nine-year-old with the kind of racing record that speaks to honest effort without great fanfare. Over 33 races, the horse has won just twice and placed 13 times, which works out to a win rate of roughly 1 in every 17 races. Those numbers don't shout brilliance, but they do tell the story of a horse that has spent nine years turning up and trying, raced predominantly in Ireland and staying competitive enough to find the frame regularly.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The most interesting thing about Ladiam is its relationship with Sligo. Of the seven races run there, the horse has won two, making it a true course specialist at that venue — a win rate of nearly 1 in 3.5 races, which is remarkable when set against the career average. The last of those wins came on 10 June 2025, more than a year ago now, suggesting that while the magic at Sligo hasn't been entirely lost, it has faded. The horse was most recently in action just a day ago, finishing seventh, which means Ladiam is still being run regularly by trainer Norman Lee's yard at Gort, in County Galway. That consistency of racing, race after race, suggests the the yard still believe there is racing left in this horse, even if the victories have dried up over the last 15 months and recent form — mostly mid-field finishes across the last six outings — has been modest.
