Minella Post
Minella Post has yet to find the winner's circle after nine career races, but the seven-year-old continues to show up and compete. With four placings from those nine races, the horse knows how to run close to the winning post without quite getting there — most recently finishing second just one day ago, which suggests the trainer is keeping this one active and looking for that breakthrough moment.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Thomas Gibney's yard at Trim has had a solid season with five winners sent out so far, and Minella Post appears to be one of the team's regular runners. The horse's last six races tell the story of a trier without much luck: a second-place finish, then three races without a placing, followed by fourth and fifth. That recent second suggests there is still some racing left in this one, even if the wins have been hard to come by. For a seven-year-old, this is a horse that knows how to handle a race day, and while the record may not show the wins other owners dream of, Minella Post seems to have earned its keep as a genuine competitor.
