Ankara
Ankara is a 4-year-old still hunting for a breakthrough win after two races without success. The horse has finished second once, suggesting it has the ability to run competitively, but has not yet crossed the line in front. Most recently, Ankara finished seventh, then third before that — a pattern that shows some promise in the earlier race but a step backward in the latest outing just yesterday.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Joseph Patrick O'Brien's Owning Hill yard in County Kilkenny is a prolific operation, having sent out 160 winners this season alone, so Ankara is in the hands of an experienced and successful trainer. Whether the horse will click and find its first win remains to be seen, but with only two races under its belt, there is plenty of time for improvement.
