Lipstick Traces
Lipstick Traces is a 6-year-old horse working hard without ever quite getting over the line. After 12 races, it has five places to its name but no wins — a frustrating record for any horse that clearly has enough ability to finish in the money. The horse competes mainly in Class 4 races, where it has managed placings but no victories from five attempts at that level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What's interesting about Lipstick Traces right now is its recent consistency. Over the last six runs, it has picked up places in four of them, including three third-place finishes. That's not winning form, but it shows genuine racing ability and a willingness to mix it in competitive fields. The horse was last seen just a day ago and is clearly still active and competing regularly, which suggests the trainer sees promise worth pursuing.
Justin Landy's yard at Leyburn in North Yorkshire is working with limited resources this season — just three winners sent out so far — so the fact that Lipstick Traces keeps getting into the frame might reflect the quality of horsemanship behind the scenes rather than any dramatic improvement in fortune. This is a horse that remains a work in progress at six years old, still hunting for that elusive first win.
