Hicko's Lad
Three races, three double-digit finishes, and not a single place to show for it — Hicko's Lad is a two-year-old still searching for a breakthrough in the early part of its career. Finishing eighth, then seventh, then ninth in its three outings so far, the horse has yet to threaten the front of a field, and its record reads 0 wins and 0 places from 3 races.Based on TrackLab's analysis

That said, context matters here. Two-year-olds are essentially teenagers learning their trade, and three races is a very small sample. The fact that Hicko's Lad raced just one day ago shows the team are keeping it active and giving it every opportunity to find its feet. Plenty of horses have taken time to click before turning things around completely.
The trainer setup behind it is worth noting. Michael and David Easterby operate out of Sheriff Hutton in North Yorkshire, and this season the yard has sent out 55 winners — a serious output that tells you these are experienced, busy handlers who know how to place a horse and develop young talent. When a stable of that size and quality keeps running a horse, it usually means they see something worth persisting with.
