Western Opera
Western Opera has now run 14 times without a win, though two top-3 finishes have come along the way. The 6-year-old's most recent outing, just a day ago, ended in 13th place—a result that extends a stretch without success to at least six consecutive races. There are hints of better form earlier in that sequence: a 4th place, followed by two more 4th place finishes, suggest the horse has come close to winning on occasion, but has never quite managed to convert those near-misses into a victory.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Ricky Doyle has been Western Opera's regular jockey, partnering the horse five times, yet those rides have yielded no wins either. At this stage of its career, Western Opera is what you might call a tough customer to place—consistently in the race but struggling to find the winner's circle, and currently showing no obvious signs of a breakthrough after being active just yesterday.
