Oor Wish
Six races, zero wins, zero places — Oor Wish has yet to find the winner's enclosure or even finish in the top three, and at six years old, time is not exactly on its side. Finishing fourth twice and fourth again is almost its own kind of cruel — close enough to make the yard optimistic, far enough back to mean nothing in prize money terms.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes Oor Wish worth watching, oddly enough, is the yard behind it. Trainer N W Alexander, based up in Leslie, Fife, has already sent out 19 winners this season, which tells you this is not an operation that struggles to get horses fit and ready to run. When a yard is firing like that, the also-rans on the team tend to benefit from the same professional preparation — they are not losing because they are undertrained or neglected. Oor Wish simply hasn't found its moment yet.
With a race just yesterday, this horse is as current as it gets. Whether that run sparks something different next time out or continues the pattern of near-misses and mid-pack finishes remains to be seen. But with a winning yard behind it and a horse still clearly racing regularly at six, the door has not been completely closed. It just hasn't opened yet either.
