San Franco
Eleven races. Zero wins. One solitary place. At six years old, San Franco has had plenty of chances to get off the mark, and so far the scorecard makes for uncomfortable reading. A single placed finish from eleven attempts tells you this is a horse that has consistently found others too good, and the recent form figures — finishing 13th, 11th, pulled up or unseated twice, then 13th and 12th before that — suggest things have not been improving. That run of results over the last six races is as tough a stretch as you'll find.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
The trainer is Dermot A McLoughlin, operating out of Bodeen in Ratoath, County Meath. The yard has sent out 10 winners already this season, so it isn't a matter of horses not being looked after or prepared — McLoughlin clearly knows how to get a horse ready to win. The fact that San Franco hasn't managed it yet, despite being in active training and racing as recently as yesterday, is one of those puzzles that every racing yard eventually has to sit with.
What keeps things interesting is simply that San Franco is still out there competing. Raced just one day ago, this is a horse very much in the thick of its career right now, not a fading story. Whether there's a first win somewhere around the corner is genuinely hard to say on this evidence, but McLoughlin's team clearly believes there's something worth running for. Sometimes it takes a horse a while to find its moment — but eleven races in, that moment is overdue.
