Trooper
Trooper is a six-year-old with a difficult record to look past: nine races run, zero wins, and nothing better than a fourth-place finish to show for it. The horse has never crossed a finishing line in front, which at this level of racing is genuinely unusual. Even more telling is the recent form — a sixth, tenth, ninth, fourth, seventh, and fifth across the last six outings. There are no hints of momentum here, no sense of a horse about to break through.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What makes Trooper's situation interesting is that it remains active. The horse raced just a day ago, finishing sixth, which means the yard are still backing it to find a race it can win. Trainer Neil Mulholland, who runs a successful yard at Limpley Stoke in Wiltshire and has sent out 60 winners already this season, clearly sees something worth persisting with. But the statistics tell a stark story: at nine races with nothing to show, Trooper has run out of obvious excuses. Some horses simply never quite find their level, and this one may be approaching that reality.
