Ballon Rouge
Six races, zero wins, zero places — Ballon Rouge has yet to give its supporters much to cheer about. The three-year-old has finished as low as twelfth in its most recent outing, and the form figures of 12-7-6-6-8-4 tell a story of a horse that started with some promise (that fourth place on debut is the best result on the card) but has since drifted further back in the field rather than improving with experience.Based on TrackLab's analysis

What makes this worth watching, though, is the company Ballon Rouge keeps. Ed Dunlop's Newmarket yard has sent out 39 winners this season, which is a serious operation by any measure — nearly a winner a week. Dunlop is not a trainer who runs horses without purpose, so the fact that Ballon Rouge has had six chances suggests the team still believe there is a race to be won somewhere. The horse raced just yesterday, meaning the yard are keeping it busy and active.
Whether Ballon Rouge can finally break through remains to be seen. At three years old there is still time to find the right opportunity, and being part of a yard firing on all cylinders is no bad thing. But right now, the results have not come.
