Miss Lia
Miss Lia won her first race at Tramore in August 2024, but has not found the winner's circle since—a gap now stretching into her third year without a victory. The six-year-old has raced 18 times in total, winning just once and finishing in the placings on six other occasions, a record that shows she competes at a level where victory is hard to come by. She remains active, having run just a day ago, and her most recent form tells a familiar story: in her last six races she has finished seventh, tenth, second, second, with two non-finishes, suggesting she is a consistent runner without quite having the edge needed to break through.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Tiernan Power Roche is her regular rider, but even that partnership has struggled to unlock a second win—they have raced together ten times with just the one victory between them. She is trained by P J Rothwell at Tinahely in County Wicklow, a yard that has been productive this season with 35 winners sent out. That productive record elsewhere makes Miss Lia's long drought without a win all the more telling: she appears to be a horse who tries hard but simply lacks the class or speed to win at her current level. The two placings in her most recent six runs show she still has the ability to get into contention, but closing out a race has eluded her for a long time now. At this point, every race is a chance to break the drought, but two years is a long time to wait in racing.
