Recent form makes for difficult reading. Her last six runs show finishing positions of 13th, 10th, and then a run of dashes indicating she failed to complete — a sequence that points to a horse either struggling for consistency or going through a rough patch. Racing just one day ago, she is clearly still being campaigned actively, which suggests Mullins has not given up on finding the right opportunity for her. Her yard has sent out 2 winners this season, so the ammunition is there — Shakita just needs to find her moment.
Whether that moment arrives depends on things clicking into place. Three places from 12 races means roughly 1 in every 4 runs has produced some reward, which is not nothing, but in racing, places pay the bills rather than make the headlines. At 4 years old, she still has time on her side.
