Someone's Wish
Someone's Wish is a horse that saves its best for one particular track. The six-year-old has won two of its three races at Downpatrick, most recently on 10 October 2025, and that course expertise is what defines its profile. Away from there, the numbers are modest: four wins from 40 races overall, a win rate of roughly one winner every ten attempts. But at Downpatrick, something clicks. On normal ground and over the sort of distances the horse seems to relish — anything from a mile and three furlongs to a mile and four — the form jumps to a different level entirely, with two wins from just three attempts showing genuine comfort in that setting.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse's last victory came 11 months ago, and it has not found the winner's circle in its last six races, a lean stretch that matters less when you understand where Someone's Wish is aimed. Trainer Patrick Morris has the horse pencilled in for a two-mile race at Down Royal, suggesting the yard is thinking beyond the flat and exploring jumping opportunities — a significant shift that could suit a horse that has always seemed happier over slightly longer distances on its home track. Morris runs a productive yard from Prescott in Merseyside, which has sent out 18 winners this season, and the trainer's confidence in Someone's Wish at Downpatrick is evident from how often the horse has been sent there. Jockey Sam Ewing, who has partnered the horse eight times without a win, may not be the answer going forward, but the pairing's lack of success together is less telling than the simple fact that Someone's Wish is a Downpatrick horse first, and everything else second.
