The recent form figures — 3, 7, 7, 8, 2, 8 — paint a picture of inconsistency. That second-place finish stands out as a clear best effort, proof that Delusional can run a decent race when things click. The cluster of seventh and eighth-place finishes around it, though, suggests those good days are not yet coming reliably. Horses at this stage of their career are still learning, and McLoughlin's team will be looking to find the conditions or distance that brings out the best in this one more consistently.
McLoughlin has sent out 9 winners from his Kildare base this season, which shows the yard is capable of placing horses well and getting results. The fact that Delusional raced just one day ago and is considered currently active suggests this is a horse being kept busy, which can be a sign that the yard — sorry, that the team — believe a win is not far away. Sometimes it just takes one race where everything falls into place.
