Inches Away
Seven years old and still searching for that first win, Inches Away has raced seven times without ever reaching the top spot. A place to its name shows it has at least threatened at some point, but with finishing positions of 10th, 10th, 17th, 13th, 11th, and 6th across its last six races, the overall picture is one of a horse that has struggled to make a meaningful impression in any of its outings.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What makes the recent record particularly hard to spin positively is the direction of travel. That sixth-place finish is the best result in the sequence, but it came earlier in the run — since then, the numbers have only got worse. Racing just yesterday, Inches Away is clearly still in active training, and its the yard will be hoping a change of fortune is around the corner. But on the evidence of seven races without a win, patience is very much the watchword here.
