The concerning trend is the drought since that September day at The Curragh. No More Porter has not won in 23 months and, scanning the last six races, the form reads as a horse that is struggling to find the form that produced its sole victory. A third place, an eighth, a second, another third, another second, and then a thirteenth at its most recent outing just yesterday—these results suggest a horse running out of steam or past its best. Adam Caffrey, the rider most associated with No More Porter, has never won aboard it across 14 attempts, which is another uncomfortable statistic when trying to find optimism in its profile.
The one encouraging detail sits in the distance range: at tracks and trips between seven furlongs and a mile, No More Porter has won 1 of 11 races, a nine percent win rate at those distances. It is not much, but it is the one pocket of form where the horse has shown it can find a way to the winner's enclosure. For a horse with only one win in 55 races, that sliver of evidence might be the reason McGuinness and his team keep sending it out to race.
