Changeofmind
There is a saying in racing that a horse's next win is always just around the corner — but for Changeofmind, that corner has been a long time coming. The six-year-old has won just 2 of its 19 races in total, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 10, and its last victory came at Catterick Bridge back in April 2023, now more than three years ago. Since then, it has gone six races without troubling the winner's enclosure, with recent form reading 7th, 9th, 3rd, 9th, 5th, and 14th — not a sequence that inspires confidence, though that third-place finish shows the ability is still flickering somewhere.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Changeofmind got off the mark at Chester in June 2022, a track that rewards horses with a particular style of running thanks to its famously tight, almost circular layout. Winning there at all is a decent feather in any horse's cap. Its most regular level of competition is Class 4, one step below the top half of the racing ladder, and it has won 1 of its 6 races at that grade — roughly 1 in 6, which is actually a reasonable return if the horse can rediscover its form.
The partnership with jockey Zak Wheatley is one area that stands out, though not for the right reasons — 0 wins from 7 races together makes it the most frequently tried combination with the least reward. That said, Changeofmind was raced just yesterday, so clearly trainer Declan Carroll at the Malton yard in North Yorkshire has not given up. Carroll has sent out 22 winners this season, so the operation knows how to get horses winning — the question is whether Changeofmind can be one of them again before too long.
