Skirt Around
Skirt Around is a 3-year-old still searching for a breakthrough win after eight races without success. The horse has managed just one place from those outings, which came in the third race of its recent campaign. Since then, results have been patchy: a third-place finish six races ago, followed by a series of midfield finishes and two runs outside the places entirely. Most recently, Skirt Around ran fourth just a day ago, suggesting the horse remains active and competing regularly.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Philip Kirby's yard at East Appleton has been in good form this season with 36 winners to their name, so Skirt Around is getting training from someone with genuine momentum. For a 3-year-old still winless after this many attempts, time is beginning to matter—the horse needs to find its feet sooner rather than later, or it risks being overtaken by its peers. The recent fourth-place finish offers a small crumb of encouragement, but consistency and that elusive first victory will be what defines whether this horse has a future on the track.
