El Phenomeno
Nine races and not a single win or placed finish — El Phenomeno is, by any measure, yet to make its mark. The seven-year-old has gone through its entire career without once troubling the judge, and with finishing positions of 10th and 11th in its two most recent completed runs, there is little in the recent form to suggest a breakthrough is imminent.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Sean O'Keeffe has ridden the horse five times without managing a win, though it is worth noting that the pair have at least been building familiarity. Whether that partnership eventually yields results remains to be seen. The horse did race just yesterday, so at the very least the yard — sorry, the yard — clearly believe there is something worth persevering with.
Michael J McDonagh trains out of Shannon in Co Clare, and his team has sent out 5 winners this season, which shows the yard is capable of getting horses to perform. The question for El Phenomeno is simply when, or whether, it can tap into that ability. For now, it remains one of those horses that tests a trainer's patience — 0 from 9 is a tough record, but every winner has to start somewhere.
