Four years into his training career, Brian Mortell is still waiting for that first winner. Since setting up in 2021, he has sent out 16 runners over the past twelve months without a victory — and the same is true of his season as a whole. By any measure, it has been a tough stretch.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The most notable thread in his yard's recent story is the partnership with Casafierna, a horse he has run five times together without a win. Five attempts at a breakthrough with the same horse, and still nothing to show for it — that kind of patience is either admirable or agonising, depending on your perspective.
There is not much more to dress up here. Mortell is a trainer in the early stages of building something, and right now the results simply have not come. Every yard has lean periods, and four years in is still relatively early in a training career. The first winner, when it arrives, will be a long time coming — and probably all the sweeter for it.
