Liberty Bird
Liberty Bird is a 4-year-old with a modest record on paper — two wins from twenty-eight races — but the numbers hide a horse that has shown genuine ability at the right trip. Over seven furlongs to a mile, the distances that seem to suit her temperament best, she wins roughly 1 in every 5 or 6 races, a rate that climbs to 1 in 6 when
Joe Fanning takes the reins. That's a meaningful improvement, and jockey-horse partnerships like that matter: it suggests the pair understand each other, and that when conditions align, Liberty Bird is capable of running up to her potential.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Her last two years tell a familiar story. She broke her duck at Beverley in late June 2024, then found the form to add a second success at Southwell that September — but that was twenty-six months ago, and she has not won since. Her recent form reads 4-7-9-7-–-9 across her last six outings, a run that shows some consistency in the midfield but no real spark. The gap between wins is telling; horses that go this long without success often lose confidence, and it takes something special — a drop in class, a softer track, or simply the right moment — to turn them around. Liberty Bird was last seen just a day ago, so the racing continues, and at a yard sending out winners regularly this season, there is at least support from a team that knows what it is doing. Whether she can recapture that winning form remains to be seen, but she is not without hope.
