The Toothpicker
The Toothpicker is a nine-year-old horse that has raced 19 times without finding the winner's enclosure. It has picked up two placing finishes along the way, but otherwise has nothing to show for a long career in the saddle. Over its last six outings it has managed one third place finish and four fifth-place efforts, with an eleventh thrown in most recently. The horse raced just yesterday and is still being campaigned.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by David Kenneth Budds at Reinduff in County Waterford, The Toothpicker has never developed into a racehorse of consequence. The yard itself is small fry—only two winners sent out this season—and this particular inmate looks destined to remain a perennial also-ran. At nine years old, the window for improvement has long since closed. The recent form tells the true story: consistent, yes, but consistently unable to get the job done. This is a horse that turns up, tries hard enough, and goes home empty-handed week after week.
