Chopsticks

The pattern of his recent races underlines this: over his last six outings, Chopsticks has returned placings of 8th, 8th, 10th, 9th, 11th, and 4th, a sequence that shows flashes of form — that fourth place most recently — punctuated by races where he has drifted back through the field. Jockey Shane Foley has partnered him ten times without a win, though their partnership continues. At six years old and with just one win from 32 races, Chopsticks is unlikely to climb much higher in the ratings, but he remains active and racing, a durable sort who gives his the yard something to work with on the track if not often in the trophy room.
