The Monkey Pole

The Monkey Pole has spent six years in racing without finding the winner's circle, and there is nothing in its recent form to suggest that drought will end soon. The six-year-old has earned four places from ten races—a record that speaks to a horse who shows up, runs respectably, but rarely dominates. In its last six outings, The Monkey Pole has finished third once and fifth twice, with a pair of fourth-place finishes thrown in. That consistency, while admirable, comes with a hard truth: it has not won a race in at least its last six attempts.Based on TrackLab's analysis
