According To Mark
According To Mark has shown real consistency without ever finding the winner's circle. The three-year-old has raced five times and collected four places — finishing second, second, second, and fourth — but has not yet broken through for a win. That's a tough run, especially for a young horse that might reasonably expect to win something at this level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What's encouraging is the form line itself. After finishing fourth most recently, the horse has gone second, second, second, second in the races before that. It keeps running into horses just that fraction better on the day, which suggests it belongs in competitive races and is close to winning. The pattern of near-misses rather than distant defeats is what keeps the yard hopeful. Edward Bethell, training from Middleham in North Yorkshire, has a yard firing on all cylinders this season with 61 winners already, and According To Mark is still active — it raced just a day ago — so opportunities to break the duck should come soon enough. At this level of consistency, a first win may not be far away.
