Subsonic
Since that breakthrough victory last September, the horse has run six more times without repeating the feat, though three placings in that spell suggest there is still some ability there. Wins come rarely — just one from nine races overall, a 11% win rate — but the pattern of recent form offers a glimmer of hope: a third place just days ago, a seventh, then a win, then an eighth, a seventh, and a tenth. That's the sort of form that keeps a trainer hopeful without setting the world alight.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The most encouraging detail is Subsonic's performance over distances between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and four furlongs, where the horse has won one from four races — a 25% win rate at that trip. With Ben Coen in the saddle, the record is better still: one win from six rides together, compared to the overall average. Trainer J P Murtagh, based in Co Kildare, has been sending out plenty of winners this season from a yard that has already notched 53 victories, so there is a track record of getting horses to the line. For a horse that hasn't won in eleven months, another visit to The Curragh — where Subsonic proved it could win — might be exactly what is needed to remind the yard what this horse is capable of.
