The G Wizard

Bruce Lynn has partnered the horse for six of those eight races, also without success, though the recent form suggests the partnership is still competitive. In its last six outings, The G Wizard finished second twice, third twice, and ninth once, with one race missing from the sequence. That kind of record — finishing in the first three in four of six races — shows the horse is close to winning, mixing respectable runs with the occasional poor effort. Still, at this stage of a horse's career, the failure to convert any of those near-misses into a victory is a concern. The G Wizard was last in the ring just a day ago and remains in active competition, so there is time yet for that breakthrough moment, but the window for a horse of this age and experience to prove itself at this level is narrowing.
