Bray Dale
Fourteen races, zero wins, and still turning up — that is the story of Bray Dale in a nutshell. The nine-year-old has managed just a single placed finish across its entire career, meaning it has finished in the frame once and come home empty-handed the other thirteen times. For context, a horse winning even 1 in every 5 races is considered a decent performer at the lower levels — Bray Dale has not managed 1 in 14.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The bulk of that record has come at Class 5, which is effectively the entry level of British racing. Even there, against the most modest competition available, Bray Dale has drawn a blank in all 11 attempts at that level. The recent form figures make for equally tough reading — a fifth and a tenth among the last six runs, with the rest not even finishing close enough to earn a placing. There is no obvious upward curve to point to.
What is perhaps most notable is that Bray Dale is still active, having raced just 23 days ago at the age of nine. Most horses with a record like this have long since been pointed elsewhere. Someone clearly still believes there is a race to be won somewhere, and you have to admire the persistence — even if the evidence, so far, has not been kind.
