The horse's sweet spot has always been Class 3 company, where he has won 2 of his 9 races—a 22% win rate that is substantially better than his career average. His last victory came at Chepstow on 28 April 2023, which means he has now gone 42 months without a win. That is a long stretch for a horse to stay in training, and it speaks to the faith his trainer, Pam Sly, has in him. His yard at Thorney, Cambridgeshire, has sent out 7 winners this season, and Takeit Easy remains part of the mix.
Looking at his recent form, the picture is one of a horse still competitive but unable to find the line. His last six races show a second place, two fourth-place finishes, a seventh, and a sixth—decent efforts that suggest he is not out of place, but nothing that has quite clicked. Paul O'Brien, his most frequent jockey, has ridden him six times and won once together, a 17% win rate that is actually ahead of the horse's career average. That suggests there may be something worth chasing at the track yet—though at 11 years old and this deep into his racing life, Takeit Easy is very much racing for the love of it now.
