Il Pirata
Il Pirata remains a work in progress at five years old, a horse still searching for a breakthrough in the winner's enclosure. The gelding has lined up six times without tasting success, picking up a pair of placed finishes along the way to show he belongs in races but has yet to seal the deal. His recent record reads 13th, two blanks, then a run of three consecutive placings — a 7th, a 6th, and a 6th — which suggests he has at least found some consistency in staying competitive. That last run came just yesterday, so he is clearly an active runner being kept busy by his trainer.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Mrs Lorna Fowler, training from Summerhill in Co Meath, has managed to send out three winners already this season despite a modest squad, so she is doing creditable work with her string. Il Pirata's lack of a win is not uncommon for a horse at this stage — many five-year-olds are still proving themselves — and his ability to finish in the placings at least shows he has not been written off as a lost cause. Whether he can finally get his head in front remains to be seen, but the regular racing schedule suggests the yard believes there is something to work with.
