Black Occ
Black Occ is a seven-year-old horse doing what it does best: staying competitive without ever quite crossing the finish line first. In twelve races, it has picked up four places but never won, and that pattern has held firm through its recent six outings, where it has finished second or third twice each but found no way through to the top.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse runs most often for trainer Sheila Lewis at Brecon in Powys, a yard that has managed four winners this season. Sean Houlihan rides it regularly — five times now — but they have yet to find a breakthrough together. When stepped up to Class 4 company, Black Occ has struggled to adapt, going zero from four at that level. What keeps it in work is consistency: it finishes in the frame often enough to stay useful, but not often enough to suggest a win is coming. After racing just yesterday, it remains active and ready to run again.
