Brendan W Duke

Four years into his training career, Brendan W Duke is still searching for that first winner. Since setting up in 2021, he has sent out 23 runners without getting off the mark — a tough run that will be familiar to many small yards trying to establish themselves at the lower end of the sport.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

His most regular partnership is with jockey Luke McAteer, who has taken 15 of those 23 rides without the pair finding the winner's enclosure together. When you're working with a small string and limited resources, finding the right horse at the right time is genuinely difficult, and the numbers here simply reflect how hard it is to break through.

There is nothing yet to point to in terms of a track that suits his horses or a race type where he's shown signs of progress — but every trainer in the sport started at zero, and the first winner, when it comes, will be a significant moment for the Duke yard.
