Four years into training and M M Rice is enduring the kind of season that tests anyone's resolve. Across 46 runners this season, not a single winner has come — a stark contrast to last year, when the yard was winning roughly 1 in every 17 races at a 6% clip. That drop to zero is the sort of thing that keeps a trainer up at night.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown
The most telling detail is the partnership with Gimmieminnie, a horse that has run 15 times under Rice's care without winning. Fifteen races together is a significant investment of time, travel, and hope. At some point a partnership like that stops looking like bad luck and starts raising harder questions — but it also speaks to a loyalty and persistence that not every yard would show.
Rice has been training since 2021, which means this difficult stretch is arriving relatively early in a career that is still finding its feet. The honest truth is that four years in, a 0% win rate this season is a real concern. But trainers have come back from lean spells before, and the next winner — whenever it arrives — will mean a great deal.
