Star Turn
Star Turn is a 6-year-old who has spent 15 races searching for a first win — and is still searching. With no victories to its name and five placed finishes to show for all that effort, this is a horse that has made a habit of getting close without quite getting there. Five times it has finished in the top three or four without landing the prize, which tells you it belongs on a racecourse and can mix it with rivals — it just hasn't found a way to get its nose in front.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The recent form offers a small crumb of comfort. Looking at the last five completed runs, Star Turn has finished second twice and fifth once, suggesting it is running consistently enough at this level. That level is Class 5 — the entry-level tier of British racing, where the competition is modest and, in theory, winnable. The fact that it hasn't managed to win in five attempts even here is a puzzle the trainer Mickey Bowen will be keen to solve.
Bowen is based in Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire and has had a productive season, sending out 52 winners — so this is clearly a yard that knows how to get horses winning. That makes Star Turn something of an outlier in the string. The horse raced just one day ago and remains in active training, so another attempt is presumably coming soon. Whether that brings a long-awaited breakthrough remains to be seen, but after 15 races and counting, Star Turn's supporters will need to keep their patience — and perhaps their optimism — firmly intact.
