Mr Darling
Four races, four finishes in the bottom half of the field, and not a single place to show for it. Mr Darling is a two-year-old who has yet to land a blow in any of his outings, finishing sixth, sixth, sixth, and tenth across his career so far — a record that tells a pretty consistent story, even if it's not the one anyone in the yard would have written for him.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
He ran just yesterday, so this is as live a profile as it gets. Whether that latest sixth was an improvement or more of the same, the fact he's still active and being aimed at races suggests Bryan Smart hasn't given up on finding the right opportunity. That matters, because Smart's yard at Sutton Bank in North Yorkshire has been in decent nick this season — 18 winners sent out is a solid body of work, and it shows the team knows how to get horses to perform when the conditions suit.
The honest truth is that 0 wins and 0 places from 4 races means Mr Darling hasn't threatened yet. At two years old there's still time, and some horses take a while to work out what racing is actually about — but he'll need to start finishing closer to the front before the optimism turns into something more concrete.
