So Smart

So Smart has been a solid workhorse for trainer Grace Harris over the past four years, racking up six wins from 70 races—a win rate of roughly 1 in every 11 outings. That consistency has made the seven-year-old a useful fixture in the yard's campaign, and with Harris's stable having sent out 31 winners already this season, So Smart remains part of a clearly functioning operation at Shirenewton in Gwent.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The horse shows clear preferences. On fast, dry ground, So Smart genuinely comes alive: 3 wins from 22 races (14%) tells you this is a horse that absolutely thrives when the track is quick. By contrast, wet or muddy conditions have rarely brought out the best. Over shorter distances—under five furlongs—So Smart has also posted a respectable 17% win rate (1 from 6), suggesting the horse may run its best race when asked for a sharp burst rather than a test of stamina. In typical Class 5 company, the horse has won 2 of 29 races (7%), which is broadly in line with its overall record.

Kieran O'Neill has been So Smart's most frequent collaborator, and their partnership has yielded impressive results: 3 wins from 14 races together (21%), well above the horse's average. That suggests a clear understanding between rider and animal. The horse's last win came at Chepstow on 16 July—six weeks ago—and recent form shows consistent placing: from its last six races, it has finished third, fourth, third, first, seventh and ninth. It is actively racing, having run just a day ago, which means So Smart remains a competitive proposition for a yard that knows how to get the most from it.
