M A Gunn
Four years into a training career, M A Gunn is still waiting for that first winner — and the numbers reflect a yard very much in its early stages. In the last 12 months alone, four runners have gone out and none have come back with a win. That is not unusual for a small, developing operation, but it does tell you this is a trainer building from the ground up rather than one already established in the sport.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this trainer's record and recent runs
The most telling detail is the partnership with Kilheffernan. Seven races together, zero wins. That kind of repeated pairing suggests Gunn believes in the horse and keeps giving it chances — but belief and results are still some distance apart. Seven attempts without a winner is a frustrating run by any measure, and it raises the question of whether a change of approach might unlock something different.
None of this means the story is over. Training racehorses is genuinely hard, and plenty of trainers who are now household names spent their early years exactly where Gunn is now — learning, adjusting, and absorbing losses. The first winner, when it comes, will have been a long time in the making.
