Venetian Star
Venetian Star is a three-year-old that has yet to break through in 17 races, finishing in the top 3 just four times without a win to its name. The horse has been ridden most often by
Ben Coen, who has partnered it six times without a success. Trained by Patrick T Foley at Bagenalstown, the yard has produced 12 winners already this season, suggesting the trainer knows how to get results elsewhere even if this particular runner has not delivered them.

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Recent form tells a familiar story — a run of 11th, 18th, 5th, 17th, 5th, and 11th top-3 finishes shows inconsistency and a general inability to be competitive at the required level. Racing just yesterday, Venetian Star remains active, but at this stage of its career, time may be running out to find a race where it truly belongs. Some horses take longer than others to click, but at three years old with no wins from 17 attempts, this one is running out of opportunities to prove it has something to offer.
