Switching Sides

Switching Sides is a two-year-old who has made an impressively efficient start to life on the track, winning 1 of its 3 races — a ratio that puts it ahead of the vast majority of horses at this stage of a career. Most young horses take far longer to figure things out, so a debut season that already includes a win and two placed efforts suggests this is one with a bit of ability.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That win came at Fairyhouse on 12 June 2026, and it remains the most recent victory on the record. What is slightly puzzling is the recent form reading of 5-1-2 — meaning the horse has finished fifth most recently, before that second, and before that first. In other words, after winning, it placed, and has since slipped back to fifth. That dip in form will be something the team at Moone will be keeping a close eye on, though a single disappointing run at this age is rarely cause for alarm.

The trainer is Mrs John Harrington, one of the most respected yards in Irish racing, based in Co Kildare. With 53 winners already sent out this season, this is a stable operating at a high level — the kind of yard where horses tend to be placed in the right races at the right time. Having Switching Sides in that environment is a solid foundation for whatever comes next. The horse ran just one day ago, so the yard are clearly keeping it busy and confident enough in its wellbeing to keep it active.
