Siege Of Carthage
Siege Of Carthage is a 6-year-old with the look of a horse that might finally be finding its feet. After eight races, he has one win to his name — that came at Limerick on 2 July — plus five places, which suggests he runs consistently but has struggled to get back to the winner's enclosure. His win rate of roughly 1 in 8 is modest, though in his last six outings he has shown real improvement: second, fifth, third, third, then that breakthrough win, and most recently a second-place finish just a day ago. That recent second tells you the horse is sharp and racing well right now.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Josh Halley at Fethard in County Tipperary, Siege Of Carthage competes in a small yard — Halley has sent out just two winners all season — which means this horse is not operating in a high-volume, slick operation. That makes his consistency all the more interesting. The fact that he won at Limerick and returned there not long after suggests the track suits him, or at least that Halley knows where to find a race he can win. For a horse that has earned just over £74,000 in his career, he is plugging away at the right level and clearly has more races in him yet. With that recent second place showing he is still competitive, there is every chance another win is not far away.
