Marta's Prince is a 4-year-old still waiting to break through after four races without a win. The horse has finished outside the top 3 in all four outings, with recent results of 13th, 8th, 5th, and 12th. That 5th-place finish three runs ago represents the best effort so far, though it remains short of the frame. Trained by
R P Burns at Collinstown in County Westmeath, Marta's Prince races for a yard that has found success this season with five winners already, suggesting the infrastructure is there to help the horse eventually get the job done. With a race just one day ago, the horse is clearly in active work and the team is giving it regular opportunities to find form. Breaking a duck at this stage would be a significant moment, and a return to something like that 5th-place effort would suggest improvement is on the way.
