Shire Star
Shire Star is a 5-year-old who has yet to get off the mark in two races so far, finishing 10th and 9th — not the most eye-catching numbers, but the story is still being written. With no wins and no places from either run, there is clearly work to do, though it is worth remembering that some horses simply take time to find their feet.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What gives the situation some optimism is who is doing the training. Eoin Christopher McCarthy, based in Athea in County Limerick, has sent out 15 winners already this season — that is a yard in form, operating with clear momentum. A trainer sending horses out at that rate knows how to get them ready to run well, and having Shire Star active just one day ago suggests the team sees no reason to put the horse away. They are clearly still searching for the right opportunity.
Two races is a very small sample. Plenty of horses have looked modest early on before clicking into gear. The next run will tell us considerably more.
