Written In My Soul
Six years old, eleven races run, and still waiting for a first win — Written In My Soul is a horse that has tested the patience of everyone at
E D Delany's yard in Laytown, Co Meath. One place from eleven attempts tells its own story: this is a horse that has been competitive enough to finish in the frame at least once, but crossing the line first has so far proved elusive.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent run of form makes for difficult reading. In the last six races, the best finish recorded is a fifth, with a sixth on either side of a run of results marked as unfinished or void. That kind of inconsistency — turning up, sometimes threatening, never delivering — is the defining feature of Written In My Soul's career at this point.
What gives the yard some reason for optimism is that Delany's team has been in decent form this season, sending out five winners already. Written In My Soul raced just one day ago, so the yard are clearly willing to keep running the horse and looking for the right opportunity. At six, there is still time — but the clock is ticking, and the record so far offers little to suggest a breakthrough is imminent.
