Four years into her training career, Danni O'Neill is still waiting for that first winner. Across 13 runners this season — which also represents her entire record over the past year — she has not yet managed to get one across the line first. That is a tough reality, but it is not an unusual one: building a yard from scratch takes time, and plenty of trainers who went on to have long, successful careers spent their early years grinding through exactly this kind of patience-testing period.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown
The most telling detail in O'Neill's record so far is her partnership with Commodore Miller, a horse she has sent out six times without a win. Six races together and no reward — that is a significant chunk of her overall output dedicated to one animal, suggesting a real belief in what the horse might eventually offer. Whether that faith is eventually repaid remains to be seen, but the commitment to running him repeatedly shows this is a yard prepared to back its own judgement.
Winning 0 from 13 is, on the numbers, a difficult picture. But four years in, with runners on the board and a string of horses to work with, the foundation is there. The first winner, when it comes, will have been a long time coming — and worth savouring.
