Profit Surge
Profit Surge is a five-year-old who has found winning genuinely difficult. Across 22 races, she has managed just one victory—at Gowran Park seven weeks ago—and picked up nine places to show for her efforts. That works out to a win rate of roughly 1 in every 20 races, which tells you this is a horse who prefers the minor medals. She remains active, having raced as recently as yesterday, so the yard are still searching for another breakthrough.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The curious thing about Profit Surge is that she performs noticeably better at distances between seven furlongs and a mile. Over those trips, she has won 1 of her 11 races—a 9% win rate, which is nearly double her overall record. It is not a spectacular win rate, but it suggests there is at least a particular trip where she finds her feet. Her recent form has been typically middling: across her last six races she has finished nowhere near the front, with a fourth-place run her best effort in that stretch. She raced yesterday and came home ninth, extending her winless run to seven weeks since that August success at Gowran Park.
Ian Patrick Donoghue's yard at Clonalvy has been busy this season with 29 winners, so the trainer clearly knows how to get horses into the winner's circle—just not so often with this one. Colin Keane, who rides Profit Surge most regularly, has had no luck aboard him either, with five rides bringing five defeats. For a horse and rider pairing to click, there needs to be some spark of promise, but so far none has appeared.
