Kactus Jack
Six races, six finishes in the bottom half of the field, zero wins, zero places. Kactus Jack's record so far reads like a horse still searching for the right question, let alone the answer. The three-year-old has never troubled the judge in any of his outings, and with a best finish of fourth from those six attempts, it is hard to point to a single run as evidence that a breakthrough is imminent.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form figures — 7-6-4-13-6-6 — tell their own story. That fourth place is the lone glimmer in an otherwise forgettable sequence, sandwiched between a thirteen and a series of mid-pack finishes that suggest a horse doing just enough without ever threatening to do more. He raced just yesterday, so he is clearly in active training and his team have not given up on finding the right opportunity.
That team is Gerard O'Leary's yard in Kildare, Co. Kildare, which has sent out 11 winners already this season. O'Leary is clearly capable of getting horses to perform, which at least offers some hope that Kactus Jack's moment might eventually come. At three years old, there is still time — plenty of horses take a while to figure things out — but right now, patience is the only thing this horse has asked of everyone watching.
