Highlander Addict
Three races in, and Highlander Addict is still searching for that first win — but there are signs of promise worth paying attention to. The five-year-old has placed in one of its three races so far, finishing second on its most recent outing before that, though a seventh-place finish in its latest run a day ago will have been a mild disappointment. The record reads zero wins and two places from three attempts, which tells the story of a horse that keeps showing up without quite getting over the line.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Based at Carrick-On-Suir in County Waterford, Highlander Addict is trained by Patrick J Flynn, a yard that has sent out 11 winners already this season — a sign that when Flynn's horses are ready, they tend to deliver. That context matters. A trainer with a productive season behind them tends to know when a horse is ready to step up, and Highlander Addict will need that guidance if it is going to convert its near-misses into a first victory.
The honest truth is that this is a horse at an early stage of its story. Three races is a small sample, and plenty of horses take time to figure things out. The second-place finish shows it can compete; the question is whether it can find that extra gear when it counts. With an active campaign underway and a capable yard behind it, the next run will tell us a good deal more.
