The recent form is telling. Three By Two's last six outings have brought only places and no wins: a sixth, then seventh, fourth, tenth, third, and another sixth place. That tenth-place finish in particular suggests the horse is running against stiffer opposition or finding the going harder. The latest race was 53 days ago, so a short break may help, but the trend over the last eighteen months or so has been gently downward.
Richard Deegan has been the horse's regular rider, taking the saddle on seven occasions and managing one win together — a rate of about 1 in 7 rides. That single success with Deegan came during the busier winning period, which was some time ago now. At this stage of Three By Two's career, the focus is likely on finding the right spot, the right track, and the right opposition to spark another win. Horses that have been racing for this long, though, rarely rediscover their touch.
