Betterluckthistime
Betterluckthistime is a 4-year-old still searching for a first win after three races without a victory or a place finish. The horse ran ten days ago, then nine days before that, and twelve days before that — a busy schedule that suggests the trainer is trying to find the right race and conditions.
P J Rothwell's yard at Tinahely in Co Wicklow has been in fine form this season, sending out 35 winners, so there is clearly quality horsemanship behind the decision to keep running Betterluckthistime.

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Three races with nothing to show for it is a tough start, but it is far too early to write off a 4-year-old. The recent runs suggest Rothwell is not giving up on the horse — he is running it regularly, which means he sees something worth persisting with. With the right race, the right ground, and a bit of luck falling the horse's way, Betterluckthistime could yet break through.
