Imnotleavinyou

Recent form tells a familiar story of a promising breakthrough followed by struggle. After breaking through at Limerick, Imnotleavinyou has managed only a couple of place finishes in its last six races (14th, 5th, 12th, 5th, 5th, 1st), suggesting the consistency needed to build on that first win has not yet arrived. Wesley Joyce, the horse's most frequent partner, has ridden it seven times without a win, which points to an ongoing search for the right tactical approach or simply a horse that has not yet found its rhythm.

Trained by Michael Mulvany at Kells in Co. Meath, Imnotleavinyou remains an active runner after racing just a day ago. The yard itself is having a solid season with 19 winners sent out so far, so the infrastructure is there. Whether Imnotleavinyou becomes a more regular visitor to the winner's enclosure or remains a horse that flashes promise only occasionally will likely depend on time and the right race at the right moment.
