Syosset

The frustration, though, is that he has not managed another win in the ten months since Dundalk. His last six races tell a story of near misses and also-ran finishes: a fourth place, two third-place efforts, a second, an eleventh, and a seventh. That recent seventh came just yesterday, so he remains active and his trainer John McConnell clearly still sees something worth running for. McConnell's Stamullen yard has sent out 36 winners this season, so the stable is firing, even if Syosset himself remains stuck on that solitary victory. The five-year-old looks like a horse who needs the right race at the right distance to get competitive again — and when he does find one, he could surprise you.
