Verified
Verified broke through for his first career win just last week at Cork, ending a long wait on the racecourse with a late-September success. At five years old and after 25 races, that single triumph feels hard-earned — he has picked up eight places along the way but has not found the winner's circle often enough. His win rate stands at just 4 per cent, roughly one victory in every 25 attempts, which tells you this is a horse that has fought for every scrap of success.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What is interesting about Verified right now is that he is still racing and still competitive. His last six runs show he was beaten by just two lengths earlier in October, and he has not been absent from the track. Gerard Keane's yard at Trim, in County Meath, has had a productive season with ten winners, so there is a functioning operation behind this horse. The regular jockey, N G McCullagh, has ridden him ten times without a win, but that breakthrough at Cork last week suggests Verified may be finding his level at last. For a horse that has taken this long to break his duck, there is something quietly satisfying about the fact he is still trying.
