Slurricane
Slurricane has not quite lived up to its name. The five-year-old has won just 3 of its 27 races since that first breakthrough victory at Killarney in May 2024, and things have gone quiet lately—it has not won in half a year, with its last victory coming at Galway back in October. That said, there are pockets of promise buried in what has otherwise been a modest record. The horse clearly suits middle-distance racing somewhere between a mile and three furlongs and a mile and a quarter; at that trip it has won 1 of 4 races, a solid 25 percent win rate that suggests those distances bring out its best. It has also picked up ten places outside the winners' circle, so it is at least mixing it with decent company now and then.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The partnership with jockey Shane Foley stands out. In just five rides together, Foley has steered Slurricane to two wins—a 40 percent success rate that is genuinely impressive and suggests the pairing has found something that works. Trainer Ross O'Sullivan, who runs a yard at Kilcullen in Kildare, knows his craft: the yard has sent out 40 winners already this season, so Slurricane is not being neglected in the daily work. The horse remains active, having raced as recently as a day ago, so the yard have not given up on finding a winning formula. With the right trip, the right jockey, and a bit of luck, Slurricane could yet shake off the frustration of a ten-month drought.
