Mirsky
Mirsky is a horse that has taken its time to find its feet, but when it does, it wins at better tracks. The seven-year-old has three wins from 24 races—a modest 12 percent win rate—but those victories tell a more interesting story than the overall numbers suggest. Two of them came at Thirsk, where the horse has won twice from just four races, and one came at Epsom in a Class 2 race, one of the top tier of British racing. That Epsom win, in early June 2025, marked a significant moment: trainer
David O'Meara had spent months watching Mirsky run well without breaking through, and when it finally did win, O'Meara felt he had cracked the puzzle. "It maybe took us a while to get the hang of him," he said afterward, "but he's won his last two now, which is great."

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The pattern that emerges is of a horse that thrives on fast, dry ground and loves Thirsk in particular. With two wins from ten races on quick ground, Mirsky performs nearly twice as well on those surfaces as it does overall. The most recent victory came at Thirsk in May 2026—now four months in the past—suggesting the horse has hit a lean spell since. The last six races show places but no wins, and at Class 2 level, where Mirsky typically races, the numbers are tougher: just one win from twelve attempts. Yet O'Meara has kept the horse active, running it just yesterday. Jockey Mark Winn has noted that Mirsky is "a good early summer horse" that comes into form quickly each year, which hints that the recent dry spell may not last. With consistent form in its locker and a proven ability to win at decent tracks when conditions suit, Mirsky remains a horse worth watching during the faster-ground months.
