Neon Eyes
Neon Eyes is a three-year-old that has shown glimpses of ability without ever quite getting over the line. In eight races, the horse has finished in the placings three times but is still waiting for that first win — currently sitting on a run of six races without success. Most recently, it finished second just a day ago, which suggests the horse is being kept busy and the trainer still believes there is a race to be won.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Gavin Cromwell at Navan, Neon Eyes is part of a yard in excellent form this season, with 96 winners already sent out to the track. That kind of record suggests Cromwell knows what he is doing with his string, and the fact that he continues to run Neon Eyes regularly indicates he sees potential. The second-place finish last time out was solid work — the horse is clearly competing at a level where it belongs, just not quite winning yet. These near-misses can be the sign of a horse that is learning and getting closer, or they can simply mean the horse has found its ceiling. Either way, with Cromwell's track record and Neon Eyes still actively racing, there will be chances to find out which it is.
