Zaraahmando
Zaraahmando is a 4-year-old with a modest record of 3 wins from 22 races, but there is something worth watching in the recent shape of its form. The horse broke through at Limerick on 11 June 2025, then went on to win again at Cork in September — and that second victory matters, because it came against tougher opposition than the debut win suggested the horse could handle. Since then, though, the picture has darkened. It has not won in the last six outings, and the results read like a study in near-misses: second, third, third, second, sixth, thirteenth. That run of two seconds either side of a pair of thirds looks like a horse that still knows how to run a race, but something has shifted. Eleven months without a win is a long drought at this level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Andrew Slattery trains Zaraahmando at Thurles in County Tipperary and rides it regularly — the pair have raced together nine times, producing two wins. That 22 percent win rate when Slattery is in the saddle is notably better than the horse's overall record, which hints that either the rider suits the horse or that these were the occasions when the horse ran well. The trainer's yard has been prolific this season, sending out 62 winners, so there is clearly quality and organisation behind the operation. Zaraahmando's most recent outing came just a day ago, which means the horse is still active and being run regularly. Whether that suggests the team believes a return to form is close, or simply that they are searching for the right race and the right conditions, is hard to say. For now, Zaraahmando remains a moderately talented horse looking to rediscover the form that produced those wins earlier in the year.
