Granite Sands
Granite Sands is a 5-year-old yet to taste victory from three races, sitting on a record of no wins and one placed effort. That might not sound like much to shout about, but the recent trajectory is worth a closer look. The last three runs read 4th, 9th, and then 3rd — in other words, the most recent outing brought the best result so far, which is at least pointing in the right direction.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by the joint team of David Killahena and Graeme McPherson out of Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire, Granite Sands is in active hands. The yard has sent out 18 winners already this season, which tells you this isn't a stable that struggles to find the winner's enclosure — they know what they're doing, and they clearly believe there's a race to be won with this horse somewhere down the line. With Granite Sands having raced just yesterday, whatever comes next is likely already being planned.
Three races is still a very small sample. Some horses simply take time to figure things out, and moving from a 9th to a 3rd in consecutive runs is a meaningful step forward. Whether Granite Sands can go one better and break the duck remains to be seen, but the signs from the most recent run offer the team something to build on.
