Four years into his training career, Denis Leahy is still searching for that first winner. Since setting up in 2021, he has sent out 15 runners in the last 12 months without a victory to show for it — a tough run by any measure, though every trainer working at this level knows that lean spells are part of the job.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown
The most telling detail in Leahy's record is his long-running partnership with Blackberry Jack. Eighteen races together and not a single win between them — that is a lot of early mornings, a lot of travel, and a lot of near-misses or worse. It is the kind of figure that tests the patience of any yard, but it also speaks to a certain stubborn commitment. They keep turning up, which counts for something.
At this stage of his career, Leahy is very much in the building phase — four years in, still waiting for the scoreboard to move. The first winner, when it comes, will mean a great deal.
