Push Harder
Eight races in and still waiting for that first win — Push Harder is the kind of horse that keeps turning up without quite delivering the goods. The three-year-old has never reached the winner's enclosure across its career, though four places from those eight attempts show it is not simply making up the numbers. A win rate of zero is hard to dress up, but there is at least evidence that it can finish in the frame when conditions suit.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form makes for mixed reading. A pair of third-place finishes are sandwiched around some blanks and a distant eleventh, which suggests a horse that blows hot and cold rather than one building steadily toward a breakthrough. It raced just yesterday, so whatever shape it is in right now, the team clearly believe it is worth keeping busy.
Push Harder is trained by Chris Timmons at his yard in Drumree, County Meath. Timmons has sent out five winners this season, which tells you this is an operation that knows how to get a horse to win — so the patience being shown with Push Harder is deliberate rather than a lack of options. Whether that first win arrives soon is the question, but at three years old, time is still on its side.
