Jackandthefox
Jackandthefox is a seven-year-old horse that has run 24 times without ever crossing the line first. It has picked up four places — finishing second or third — but a win remains elusive. Over the last six races, the pattern has been consistent: two fifth-place finishes, a fourth, a tenth, and a couple more fifths. Most recently, just a day ago, it came home fifth again.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The horse runs regularly with jockey Rory Cleary, who has partnered it ten times without a victory either. Right now, Jackandthefox is in active racing, which is unusual for a horse with this record — many would have been retired or moved to a different yard long ago. That it keeps running suggests the team believes there is still something there worth chasing, even if the results say otherwise.
