Annie's Angel
Annie's Angel broke through after a long wait, finally securing a victory at Galway on 28 October 2024, but that remains the high point of what has been a tough campaign. The four-year-old has raced 18 times overall and won just once, finishing in the places five times — a record that tells you this is a horse still searching for consistency. More concerning is the form line over the last six runs: eighth, eleventh, fifth, fourth, sixth, and twelfth. Those numbers show Annie's Angel is struggling to find the winning formula again, and the gap since that single victory — now 22 months — only underlines how rare success has been.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trainer Adrian McGuinness, whose Lusk yard in County Dublin has produced 45 winners this season, has been patient with Annie's Angel, but the partnership with regular jockey Dylan Browne McMonagle has yielded no wins from six attempts together. The horse performs best over middle distances of 1m1f to 1m2f, winning 1 of 8 races at that trip (roughly one in eight), which suggests conditions and track at Galway suited it on that October day. With the horse still racing actively — it ran just yesterday — McGuinness will be hoping for a return to form, but the recent runs suggest Annie's Angel remains a long way from another winner's enclosure.
