Sailing By
Sailing By is a five-year-old with work still to do. The horse has run seven times without finding the winner's circle, though it has finished in the top three twice, showing enough ability to suggest it belongs on a racecourse. Most of those runs have come recently — Sailing By has raced six times in quick succession and picked up a couple of top-3 finishes along the way, but the wins just haven't come.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Brendan Powell has been the regular rider, handling the horse for all six of its recent outings without managing to land a victory. Joe Tizzard's yard at Milborne Port has been firing on all cylinders this season with 52 winners to its name, so there is quality horsemanship in the background. When Sailing By has stepped up to Class 4 races — the deeper end of the pool — it has struggled to break through across three attempts. The horse was out competing just a day ago, so it remains an active part of the yard's plans. Time will tell whether Sailing By can finally get its head in front, but for now it remains a horse still searching for that breakthrough victory.
