Long Shot
Long Shot has yet to find a way past the post in 15 attempts, though the horse has shown enough promise to finish in the frame four times. At three years old, there is still time to break through, but the record so far—nothing from fifteen races—suggests this is a horse learning its trade slowly.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form tells a familiar story: a fourth-place finish just yesterday, then a run back in May where it grabbed fifth. Looking at the last six races, the best Long Shot managed was a fourth, which arrived twice in that stretch. Fourth place is close enough to see what you're chasing, but far enough away to be frustrating. The horse has been active and racing regularly, which at least shows the the yard believe there is something to work with.
Tim Easterby's stable at Great Habton has sent out 128 winners this season, so Long Shot is in a yard that knows how to get horses to the line. That said, Easterby trains dozens of horses—some find their level quickly, others take time—and Long Shot remains among those still searching.
