Texas Red
Five races, no wins, no places — Texas Red has yet to give the yard, sorry, has yet to give the yard anything to shout about, but at six years old and racing as recently as yesterday, the story is clearly still being written.
P J Rothwell's operation in Tinahely, Co Wicklow has been in fine form this season with 35 winners sent out, so the firepower is there — Texas Red just hasn't found a way to tap into it yet.

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form figures of 8-5-5-4-6 do tell a mildly encouraging tale, at least in one direction. That sequence, read from oldest to most recent, shows a horse that came from the back of the field and has gradually crept closer to the front — finishing eighth on debut, then sixth, then fourth, then two fifth-place finishes. It hasn't converted that improvement into a podium finish yet, but there is at least a horse moving in the right direction rather than one drifting further away from competitiveness. For a yard sending out winners at a healthy rate this season, patience with a horse showing gradual progress makes sense.
What Texas Red needs now is simple: to turn one of those near-miss finishes into something more. The jump from fifth to first is a big one, but it has been made before by horses who needed time to figure it all out.
