Noble Phoenix
Thirteen races into its career and still waiting for a first win, Noble Phoenix has so far failed to deliver on the promise its name suggests. The four-year-old has managed just two placed finishes from those 13 outings — meaning it has finished in the top three roughly once every six or seven races — and has not troubled the judge in any of its last six runs, with finishing positions of 9th, 12th, 9th, 9th, and 13th telling a fairly bleak story of a horse that is consistently mid-pack or worse.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What makes the record harder to gloss over is that Noble Phoenix has been competing at Class 5, which is the entry level of British racing — the races where horses with modest profiles come to find their feet and pick up wins. Even at that level, it has drawn a blank in all four attempts. That is not a horse finding its level; that is a horse yet to find any level at all.
David Flood trains out of Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire, a yard that has sent out two winners this season. It is a small operation, and small yards often work hard to place their horses in races they can be competitive in. Noble Phoenix raced just yesterday, so the team clearly has not given up, and there is something to be said for persistence. But until the finishing positions start creeping forward, it is difficult to make a case for this horse as anything other than a work in progress — and at four years old, with 13 races already on the clock, time is not entirely on its side.
