Miami Jim
Miami Jim is eight years old and has been racing for long enough that the statistics paint a fairly stark picture: thirteen races, no wins, and just two places to show for it. The horse has never crossed the finish line first, and over the last six outings—his most recent just a day ago—he has finished outside the money five times, with a best result of third place two races back. That kind of record suggests Miami Jim is a horse who tries but simply cannot quite find the winning formula, no matter how many times he gets his chance.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The partnership between Miami Jim and his regular rider Ben Poste tells the same story. They have been together for eleven races without tasting victory, which speaks to a consistent if unremarkable relationship: they are not a combination that clicks brilliantly, but neither are they a disaster waiting to happen. Ben keeps coming back, and the horse keeps running, but wins do not follow. Meanwhile, trainer Rosemary Gasson, who runs her yard at Balscote in Oxfordshire, has had a quiet season by most measures—just one winner sent out so far—so Miami Jim is hardly the star of that operation either. At Class 5 level, where Miami Jim contests most of his races, he has managed eight attempts without a victory, which is the ceiling of his ambitions in this sport. At this stage of his career, he appears to be a horse content to make up the numbers: present, game enough to finish in the frame occasionally, but without the spark or class to ever truly win.
