Leave In Secret
Leave In Secret is a 7-year-old with a modest record of 2 wins and 9 places from 19 races—wins roughly once in every 9 races, which puts this horse firmly in the middle ranks. The wins came in quick succession last year: first at Ballinrobe in August 2025, then at Galway a month later in September. Since that second victory, though, eleven months have passed without a winner's enclosure visit, which is a telling drought for a horse that hasn't shown the consistency needed to bounce back consistently.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Recent form tells the story of a horse struggling to find the form it had last season. In the last six races, Leave In Secret has been placed twice—fourth and fourth—but has also finished further back with consecutive sevenths and a sixth. That fourth-place finish most recently, just a day ago, at least suggests the horse is still racing and still occasionally competitive, but the pattern is one of familiar disappointment. Under regular jockey Darragh O'Keeffe, the pair have managed 1 win from 6 rides together—a 17% win rate that is better than the overall record but still modest given the small sample. Thomas Gibney's Trim yard, which has sent out 5 winners this season, has kept Leave In Secret in work and in races, but eleven months without a win is a long time for any horse to carry, especially one at this level of ability. The signs point to a horse still searching for that spark that produced two wins within a month, but not yet finding it.
