Sekifi
Twelve races. Zero wins. Zero places. At eight years old, Sekifi has had plenty of opportunities to get on the scoresheet and has so far passed on all of them. That is a tough record to look at, but it tells a story worth understanding — this is a horse that keeps turning up, keeps competing, and keeps giving its trainer something to work with.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form figures show some variation. A fourth-place finish a few runs back is the closest Sekifi has come to troubling the judge, and there are a couple of blank runs mixed in where the horse didn't finish in the listed positions at all. The most recent outing was just yesterday, which tells you the team at Kilmessan are not giving up — they are actively searching for the right race and the right moment.
That team is trained by Matthew J Smith, based in Co. Meath, a yard that has sent out 8 winners already this season. Smith is clearly capable of getting horses to win, which makes Sekifi something of an ongoing puzzle. Eight years old is not ancient for a racehorse, but it does mean the window of opportunity is not getting any wider. The hope for anyone following Sekifi is that the right conditions click into place before that window closes.
