Keep The Head
Eight years old and still searching for a first win, Keep The Head has contested eight races without ever getting to the front. That single placed finish — one moment of encouragement in an otherwise winless career — is the solitary highlight so far. With a record of zero wins from eight attempts, this is a horse that has consistently found at least one rival too good on the day.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form makes for difficult reading. Looking back at the last six races, the best visible finishing position is a sixth, with a ninth and a tenth also in there. Dashes in the form record typically indicate pulled-up or non-completing runs, which, if that is the case here, adds another layer of concern. This is not a horse currently running into any kind of form.
Trainer Patrick T Foley operates out of Bagenalstown in County Carlow, and the yard has been in decent enough shape this season — 12 winners sent out suggests a functioning, competitive operation. The fact that Keep The Head has not contributed one of those wins is not through lack of trying. Foley will know this horse better than anyone, and the fact that it raced just one day ago suggests the yard — sorry, the team — are still actively searching for the right opportunity. At eight years old, time is not necessarily on its side, but horses can surprise you.
