The Besty Woman
The Besty Woman remains an intriguing prospect in the making. The 5-year-old has won just once from five races, though that win came at Wexford on 16 May, and she has added three places to her tally — a record that suggests she is competitive at her level even on days when the victory eludes her. She wins roughly 1 in every 5 races, which is steady rather than spectacular, but her recent form tells a more encouraging story. Over her last five outings, she has finished second, first, third, fourth, and tenth — a varied run that includes a win just four months ago, most recently raced just a day ago, and shows she is still being actively campaigned by her trainer.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Henry de Bromhead's Knockeen yard is one of Ireland's most productive operations, having sent out 110 winners already this season, so The Besty Woman is working under a handler with considerable strength. The fact that she raced so recently suggests the trainer believes there is more to come. With two places in her last five runs alongside her single win, she appears to be knocking on the door — a horse that finds the frame regularly enough to suggest she knows her way around the track, even if she has not yet fully figured out how to string wins together consistently. At five years old, she still has time to develop, and with Wexford clearly suiting her temperament, she may yet prove worth watching.
