El Regalo
Five years old and still searching for that first win, El Regalo has run 14 times without ever reaching the top step of the podium. A single place is all there is to show for those 14 efforts — which means that on 13 of those occasions, the horse has finished without even a minor placing to its name. That is a tough record to look at, and the recent form makes it no easier: the last six runs read 11th, pulled up or unseated twice, then 6th, 9th, and 8th before that. There is no obvious momentum to grab hold of here.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
What makes El Regalo's situation particularly difficult is that a horse of this age is usually starting to show its best form, not still looking for a breakthrough. At five, most horses have found their level and are winning — or at least running competitively — in the right races. A single place from 14 is the kind of record that raises honest questions about whether that winning moment is coming at all.
To be fair to trainer Ciaran Murphy, based in Mullingar, County Westmeath, his yard is clearly in decent health — 18 winners on the board this season tells you this is a team that knows how to get a horse to the track ready to perform. El Regalo, though, has so far been the one that hasn't fired. The horse raced just yesterday, so Murphy is keeping the faith and keeping the horse active. Whether that persistence eventually pays off is the only real question left to answer.
