That sole career victory came at Navan on 17 May 2025, and it remains the only time Makaiah has hit the front. In its best distance range — between one mile six furlongs and two miles — the record reads one win from eight races, a win rate of roughly 1 in 8 (12%). That is modest in raw terms, but it does point to where Makaiah is most likely to be competitive. Stamina seems to be the friend here; the further it goes, the more interested it becomes.
Recent form shows a horse that has been placing — a second and a fourth in the last six runs — without managing to get back to winning. The most recent run was just yesterday, so this is a horse very much in the thick of its campaign right now. Six races without a win since Navan means the yard will be searching for the right opportunity to get Makaiah back in front.
Gerard O'Leary trains from Kildare and has had a productive season, sending out 11 winners. Keeping a horse like Makaiah busy and finding the right spot for it is part of the job — and with one win from 22 races, finding the right conditions clearly matters more for this horse than for most.
