Switching Sides

Switching Sides is a two-year-old with one win from five races, a debut success at Fairyhouse on 12 June that now sits four months in the past. Since that early breakthrough, the horse has found winning much harder to come by. The recent form reads 6-15-5-1-2, which shows some inconsistency — a promising fifth at one stage, then a second-place finish, but flanked by runs well down the field. That's the pattern of a young horse still finding its feet at this level, capable of better days but not yet consistent enough to string wins together.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
TrackLab's detailed breakdown

Trainer Mrs J. Harrington, based at Moone in Co Kildare, has a productive yard, with 53 winners sent out this season. Switching Sides raced just yesterday, which means the trainer is keeping the horse active and looking for the right opportunity. At two years old with only five races under its belt, this is still early days. The horse has finished in the top three twice from five attempts, which suggests there is ability there, but converting that potential into regular wins will be the next test.
