Will Wilde
At seven years old, Will Wilde is a horse that has made its supporters patient. One win from ten races — roughly 1 in every 10 outings — is a modest return, and that single victory came at Sligo back in October 2023, now more than two and a half years ago. Since then, across six consecutive races without winning, the picture hasn't brightened much. Three places from the ten career races suggest the horse is competitive enough to be in the mix, but converting that into a win has proven elusive.Based on TrackLab's analysis

The partnership with jockey Sean Flanagan tells a similar story — five races together and no wins yet. That doesn't make it a failed combination, but it does mean the pair are still waiting for their moment. Will Wilde raced just yesterday, so this is a horse firmly in the thick of its season rather than one being managed gently from a distance.
Trainer Liz Doyle operates out of Crossabeg in County Wexford, a small yard that has sent out four winners this season. That's a meaningful return for a modest operation, and it shows Doyle knows how to place her horses and get results. The question for Will Wilde is whether another winning opportunity can be found — ideally somewhere that suits, at the right moment, in the right conditions. Sligo worked once. Whether it holds the key again remains to be seen.
