TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The most notable feature of his record so far is his long-running partnership with My Policy, a horse he has sent out 11 times without a win. That is a lot of races to run a horse without a result, and it suggests either a patient, long-term project or a horse that has proved genuinely difficult to place. Either way, it represents the quieter, grinding reality of life at the smaller end of training — keeping horses ticking over, learning the job, and waiting for the pieces to fall into place.
Four years in, Rooney is still building. The winners will matter more when they come.
