Chasing Gold
Chasing Gold has tasted victory just once in 20 races, a breakthrough that came at Great Yarmouth back in June and has not been repeated since. Over the past month, the horse has shown the kind of form that keeps the yard hopeful without ever quite delivering: a win three months ago, then a sequence of fourth, second, third, seventh and fifth in the last six races, most recently just days ago.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The harder yards to crack are the Class 6 races, where Chasing Gold has yet to win despite ten attempts. The presence of Daniel Muscutt in the saddle — five rides, no winners — suggests the partnership may not be clicking, though sample sizes matter here. What stands out is that the horse has found the frame regularly enough to suggest it is competitive at this level, just not quite good enough to get its head in front. For a horse with only one win from 20 races, that early success at Great Yarmouth still counts for something: it proved the horse could do it, even if replicating that feat has proved elusive. Michael Keady's yard has sent out 16 winners this season, so there is no shortage of expertise around Chasing Gold, but so far the trainer has not found the answer to getting this particular horse back into the winner's circle.
