In The Minus

The horse picked up its first career win at Limerick in June 2025, then backed it up with a second at Galway in October — a track that, given the yard's Connacht roots, feels like home territory. That Galway win came seven months ago, and In The Minus has not hit the top spot since, but the recent form is not discouraging. The last six runs read 5, pulled up, 5, 1, 4, 3 — admittedly with a rough outing in the middle, but the win is in there, and a couple of placed finishes either side of it suggest the horse is competitive when things click.

Where In The Minus looks most at home is over long distances — two miles or more — where it has won 1 from 5 races, a rate of 20%, or 1 in every 5 attempts. That is twice as good as its overall record, which matters. Some horses are simply better when they have time and space to settle into a rhythm, and the extra distance seems to suit this one. It is the kind of detail that a casual observer might miss but that makes a real difference when picking a race to target.

Sean Davis is the regular partner in the saddle, riding In The Minus in 8 of its 21 races and winning once together — roughly 1 in every 8 rides, a 12% win rate. That is a modest return, but familiarity between horse and rider counts for something over the long haul. Cawley's yard has sent out 3 winners already this season, so the operation is ticking along. In The Minus raced just yesterday, which tells you this is an active, busy horse still very much in the mix. With the right conditions over a long trip, another win is not out of the question.
