Minella Post
Minella Post is a seven-year-old that has found the winner's enclosure frustratingly elusive. Across 11 races, the horse has never won, though it has picked up four places—meaning it finishes in the money roughly once every three races. That record suggests a horse that can be competitive on its day but hasn't quite managed to convert that promise into a victory. Last time out, just a day ago, Minella Post finished fourth, continuing a barren streak that now stretches back six races without a win.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse is trained by Thomas Gibney, who runs a yard from Trim in County Meath. Gibney has already sent out five winners this season, so there is clearly ability in the operation. For a horse of Minella Post's age and record, finding the winning post remains the next frontier. The recent form—fourth, sixth, second, and then three absences—shows inconsistency, though that second-place finish proves the horse is not out of touch. With racing still continuing, there is time yet for Minella Post to add that crucial first win to its record.
