Venetian Star
Venetian Star is a 3-year-old horse still searching for its first win after thirteen outings. The record reads sobering: no victories, just four placings, mostly finishing well down the field. Recent form tells the same story. In the last six races, the horse has managed one second place—a couple of weeks back—and a third, but the other four runs have been distant efforts, including two eleventh-place finishes. There is nothing in that sequence to suggest a breakthrough is imminent.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The partnership with jockey Ben Coen has been equally fruitless. They have partnered six times without reward, which suggests either the pairing isn't clicking or the horse simply isn't quick enough at this level. Trainer Patrick T Foley, based in Bagenalstown, knows his business well enough—the yard has sent out a dozen winners already this season—but Venetian Star remains stubbornly winless under his care. The horse raced just yesterday, so Foley is keeping it active, hunting for that elusive first victory. Whether it arrives at all remains an open question.
