Dark Sun

The most consistent partnership in Dark Sun's career has been with jockey Laura Coughlan, who has ridden the horse in 13 of those 19 races without a win between them. That's a significant chunk of a career spent together, and while the scorecard reads 0 from 13, the sheer regularity of the combination suggests a working relationship that the yard clearly trusts. Class 6 is where Dark Sun has spent most of its time — the entry-level tier of British racing — and in 8 races at that level, a win has yet to come.

What the recent form does show is a horse that isn't fading away. Finishing second just two runs ago, and placing fourth twice before that, Dark Sun has been competitive enough to make the frame in three of its last five completed races. The horse raced just yesterday, which speaks to a busy campaign and a team willing to keep rolling the dice. Whether that win finally arrives is the question — but there's enough here to suggest Dark Sun isn't done trying.
