Four years into life as a trainer, C P Donoghue is still searching for that first winner. Ten runners this season, ten runners over the past twelve months, and the scorecard reads zero from the lot — a blank that will feel increasingly heavy as the calendar turns.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown
The most telling detail is the partnership with Lady Delila. Twelve races together and not a single win between them — that is a lot of faith to keep placing in one combination, and it says something about Donoghue's patience, or perhaps his belief that the breakthrough is always just around the corner. Whether that corner ever arrives remains the open question hanging over this small yard.
Training is a long game, and four years in with no winners on the board is a tough place to be. The sport has plenty of examples of trainers who eventually found their feet after slow starts, but the path there requires either a change of fortune or a change of approach. Right now, Donoghue is still waiting for either.
