Sword Of State
Sword Of State is a two-year-old still finding its way in racing, with one win from four races so far. The horse won at Gowran Park on 25 July — its only victory to date — and has shown some promise since, picking up a place finish in its most recent run just over a week ago. That suggests the young horse is starting to settle into racing and learn what it needs to do to win consistently.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
With a win rate of 1 in 4, Sword Of State is still very much in the early stages of its career. At this age, consistency matters less than showing genuine ability, and a place finish in the last race is encouraging. The gap of five weeks between the win and more recent racing suggests the trainer has been patient, perhaps giving the horse time to develop rather than running it into the ground. For a two-year-old still racing, that kind of measured approach often pays off. Keep an eye on this one — young horses that win early and then pick up placings in their next starts are worth watching.
