The Love Machine

Recent form has been patchy. In its last six runs, it has managed only two placings sandwiched between a couple of unplaced efforts. Wesley Joyce, who rides the horse regularly, has yet to steer it to victory — they have run together seven times without a win. That partnership may be worth watching for patterns, though with such a small sample it is hard to draw firm conclusions. Trainer Sean Davis, based at Maynooth in County Kildare, has had a quiet season overall with just two winners sent out from the yard so far, so The Love Machine sits within a relatively modest operation. At this stage of its career, this is a horse that works hard for its races and occasionally finds its way into the frame, but breaking the tape remains the exception rather than the rule.
