Everystep Oftheway
Everystep Oftheway is an eight-year-old horse that has spent its entire racing life in search of that elusive first victory. It has never crossed the line in front, and recent form suggests the breakthrough is not imminent: in its last six races, the horse has managed two fourths but otherwise finished well back in the field, including a thirteen-length gap last time out.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Oliver McKiernan at Rathcoole, Co Dublin, Everystep Oftheway has been ridden regularly by jockey Phillip Enright, who has partnered the horse nine times without recording a win. The yard itself is competitive — McKiernan's team has sent out six winners this season — which suggests the trainer knows how to get horses to the line. But this particular horse remains stubbornly resistant to improvement. Now actively racing again after running just a day ago, Everystep Oftheway continues to be given chances by the yard who, despite no wins from 17 attempts, keep saddling it up and sending it out to race. Whether that reflects quiet faith in a late-bloomer or simple momentum is hard to say, but at eight years old, time is not on its side.
