Wipeawayyourtears
Wipeawayyourtears is a three-year-old with real potential over longer distances, though it has taken some time to find the winner's enclosure. The horse has won just once in nine races — that breakthrough victory came at Fairyhouse in mid-June — but the numbers improve significantly when you look at what distances suit it best. Over the mile-and-a-half to two-mile range, it has won 1 of 3 races, a win rate of roughly one in three, which is genuinely encouraging. The recent form tells a mixed story: a ninth-place finish last time out, but before that a third and a second-place finish, suggesting the horse is mixing competitive efforts with occasional off days.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What's most interesting is how long it took to get that first win. Nine races is a patient journey for any horse, but the fact that victory arrived at all suggests Michael Butler's yard — which has been selective this season with just the one other winner — is a place where horses improve with time. That win at Fairyhouse three months ago matters; it proves Wipeawayyourtears can get the job done when conditions and distance align. The gap between that June triumph and more recent form suggests the horse may still be finding its feet, but given how much better it runs at the longer distances it prefers, there could well be more wins ahead if kept to similar trips.
