Now So Jake

Now So Jake is an 8-year-old with the kind of racing record that suggests genuine ability without much luck. The horse has won one race from four outings — a 25 percent win rate — and that solitary victory came at Cork on 5 July 2024, more than two years ago. It's a long time between drinks, and the gap tells you something about the difficulty of getting this horse back to the winner's circle.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The recent form is mixed. In the last four races, Now So Jake finished seventh, eleventh, first, and third — a sequence that shows glimpses of what it can do (that third-place finish is respectable) but frustrating inconsistency overall. The fact that the horse raced just a day ago means it is actively campaigned and still finding opportunities, which suggests the trainer David Harry Kelly believes there is more to come. Kelly's Rathvin yard in County Tipperary has sent out 13 winners this season, so there is clearly racing sense at work.

What matters now is whether Now So Jake can recapture the form that brought that win at Cork. At eight years old, the horse is in its prime racing years, and with placings in two of its four races, it has shown it belongs in competitive races. The challenge will be stringing together consistent form — right now it is the kind of horse that could surprise at decent odds, but only if the pieces fall into place on the day.
