Zuzukel
Zuzukel is a 6-year-old who has been around the block — 14 races in and still waiting for that first win. With no victories and just two placed finishes to show for its career, this is a horse that has spent most of its life making up the numbers rather than troubling the judge at the finish line. To put that in perspective: across 14 races, Zuzukel has finished in the top three just twice, and never once reached the winner's enclosure.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The recent form doesn't offer much encouragement either. Looking at the last six outings — finishing 11th, 5th, 6th, 2nd, then two unplaced runs after that — there was a brief moment of promise when Zuzukel ran second, suggesting the ability is somewhere in there. But it hasn't been built upon, and the horse raced as recently as yesterday, so the yard will be hoping a change of luck is just around the corner.
The trainer is A.J. Martin, based at Summerhill in County Meath, a yard that has sent out 15 winners this season — proof that the team knows how to get horses to win. The puzzle is finding the right opportunity for Zuzukel to do the same.
