Frankie's Freebie
Six races, zero wins, and a horse that keeps finishing just close enough to keep everyone interested — that is the Frankie's Freebie story so far. The six-year-old has never managed to get its nose in front, but four placings from six races tells you this is not a horse that embarrasses itself. It shows up, it competes, and it leaves its the yard wondering what it will take to finally get that elusive first win on the board.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form makes for curious reading. A tenth-place finish on its latest outing aside, the run before that produced a last-place finish, yet sandwiched around those are two second-place finishes and a third — the kind of form that suggests the horse has ability but finds a way to let it slip at the crucial moment. That sequence of 10th, last, 2nd, 2nd, 3rd reads like a horse that can be brilliant one day and baffling the next, which is either endearing or maddening depending on how much you care about the result.
Frankie's Freebie is trained by Adrian Sexton out of Athy in Co Kildare. It is a small yard operating modestly this season — two winners sent out so far — which means every runner matters and a first win for this horse would be a genuinely meaningful moment for the team. Sexton will know better than anyone that the talent is there on its day; the job now is finding the right race at the right time to finally convert one of those near-misses into a victory.
