Lesley Buckley
Five races, five finishes in the bottom half of the field, and not a single placing to show for it — Lesley Buckley is, at this point, a horse that has yet to give the yard any cause for celebration. The recent form figures of 8-10-9-11-8 tell a consistent story, just not the one any trainer wants to read: this is a young horse that has been running into trouble finding competitive results, finishing well off the pace in every single outing.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
At three years old, there is still time for things to click. Young horses can take a while to mature, to figure out what racing actually asks of them, and plenty have turned their form around after an unpromising start. But on the evidence so far, Lesley Buckley has not yet shown anything to suggest a breakthrough is imminent.
The one genuinely encouraging note is who has the horse in their care. Jim and Suzi Best, based in Lewes in East Sussex, have sent out 13 winners already this season — a yard clearly in decent form and capable of getting results. Having a horse in with a yard that knows how to win at least means Lesley Buckley is in the right hands if improvement is coming. The team will have a clearer sense than anyone of whether there is a race and a set of conditions that might finally allow this horse to show something different. Having raced just yesterday, we will not have to wait long to see how the story develops.
