Four years into a training career and still waiting for that first winner — N Stokes is in a position many small yards know well, but few would find comfortable. Across 21 runners this season, and 21 runners over the past twelve months, the scorecard reads zero wins. That is a long run without a breakthrough, and it is the kind of drought that tests patience as much as it tests horses.Based on TrackLab's analysis

TrackLab's trainer breakdown
The most regular partnership in the yard is with jockey Daniel King, who has taken the reins on 10 of those 21 runners without a win to show for it. Ten rides together and no winner yet means the pair are still searching for the moment everything clicks — and in racing, that moment can arrive suddenly and without much warning.
What is worth remembering is that Stokes has only been training since 2022. Four years is still early in any training career, and plenty of trainers who went on to make a real name for themselves spent their first few seasons learning the hard way. The winners will matter far more when they do arrive.
