Drop A Threat

His most recent run came just yesterday, when he finished tenth, a result that extends his current streak without a win to six consecutive races. Ridden by Danny Mullins, the horse has appeared five times with the jockey and has managed only places from those attempts, never breaking through to the top spot. Mullins knows him well by now — that familiarity without success can tell you something about a horse's ceiling. Drop A Threat is trained by W. P. Mullins, a handler based at Muine Bheag in County Carlow whose yard is enjoying a productive season with 215 winners already sent out to the track. That scale of success elsewhere in the stable makes Drop A Threat's own inability to win all the more pointed. He is an active runner, still being sent out regularly despite the record, which suggests the yard still see something worth persisting with — or perhaps he simply makes his races and fills the card. Either way, at twelve attempts with nothing to show but a handful of places, Drop A Threat remains a horse still searching for that elusive first victory.
