The Captains Day
The Captains Day is a 2-year-old still searching for its first win after three races without a place. The horse ran six lengths back in its most recent outing just a day ago, and before that finished fourth — a result that at least suggested it was getting closer to the action. The opening run was also well beaten, but for a young horse still learning the game, three races is hardly a verdict.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by M D O'Callaghan at The Curragh in Kildare, The Captains Day has solid support behind it. The yard has already sent out 18 winners this season, so there is form and experience in the stable. At two years old, plenty of racehorses are still figuring out what they are doing, and a recent fourth-place finish hints that the horse may be starting to improve. The pattern of its last three runs — beaten sixth, then fourth, then sixth again — suggests it is still volatile, but there is at least a sign of progress in the middle run. Time and experience will tell whether this is a horse with a future or one destined for smaller prizes down the line.
