Shakita
Nine races, one placed finish, no wins — Shakita is a horse that has spent its entire career just outside the places where it matters. At four years old, there is still time for that to change, but the recent form makes for difficult reading. The last six runs have produced finishes of eighth, eighth, eighth, thirteenth, tenth, and a blank, and there is a stubborn consistency to those numbers that suggests the horse is finding its level rather than building towards a breakthrough.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The single place from nine races tells the full story: Shakita has come close to a podium finish just once in its career, and not at all recently. For context, a horse winning at a normal rate might be expected to place — finish in the top three — far more often than that over nine attempts. One from nine puts this horse firmly in the category of competitors who make up the numbers rather than trouble the scoreboard.
Shakita is trained by Thomas Mullins at Goresbridge in Co Kilkenny, a yard that has sent out two winners so far this season. With Shakita having raced as recently as yesterday and still active, the yard — sorry, the team — clearly believe there is a race to be won somewhere. Whether the horse can find it remains the question.
