Little Boy Sivola
Little Boy Sivola is a five-year-old still searching for that breakthrough moment. After 11 races, the horse has yet to find the winner's circle — no wins, no places — which is the kind of record that tests the patience of any yard. Yet trainer
P J Rothwell, based in Tinahely, keeps running him, and keeps trying different things.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form tells the story: a sixth-place finish just yesterday, with a run of 8th, 5th, 14th, and 12th over his last six outings. It is a mixed bag — the sixth and fifth suggest he can at least be competitive on his day — but nothing that hints at a breakthrough is imminent. The fact that he raced just yesterday shows Rothwell is not giving up on finding the right spot for him. With 35 winners sent out by the yard this season, Rothwell clearly knows how to train a horse to win; Little Boy Sivola is simply not that horse yet. Whether that changes remains to be seen, but at this stage, he is one of those horses that keeps turning up without quite delivering the goods.
