Thegooseiscooked

What makes the horse worth watching, though, is that he does seem to have found something when paired with jockey Colin Keane. In five rides together, Keane has found the winner's circle once with Thegooseiscooked, a 20% win rate that stands out sharply against the horse's overall 3% win rate (1 from 29 races). That suggests there may be a partnership worth following. The horse performs best over distances between 1m1f and 1m2f—middle distances where he has won 1 of his 10 races over that range, roughly a 10% win rate at those trip lengths.

Gerard Keane's Trim yard has been reasonably productive this season with ten winners to their name, which is respectable for a smaller operation. The fact that Thegooseiscooked is still active, with his most recent race just yesterday, suggests the yard sees something worth continuing with. At 9 years old, he is no youngster, but plenty of horses find their feet late or settle into a comfortable pattern of consistent placing rather than winning. For the yard, keeping him competitive at the lower levels appears to be the game plan—and with Keane in the saddle and the right distance to suit him, a repeat win is not beyond the realm of possibility.
