Four years into his training career, John G Carr is still searching for that first winner. Since setting up his yard in 2021, he has sent out 22 runners without a victory — a run of results that will be testing the patience of everyone involved, but one that many small trainers recognise as part of a difficult early chapter in building an operation from the ground up.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

His most notable partnership so far has been with Rough Diamond, a horse he has saddled three times without getting off the mark. Three races together, three defeats — though the fact that the same horse keeps returning to the yard suggests a working relationship worth watching, even if the results haven't come yet.
With the whole of this season mirroring the overall career record — 22 runners, zero wins — there is clearly work to be done. Small yards can take time to find their feet, and a win rate of 0 from 22 is a reminder of just how hard it is to compete at any level of the sport. The breakthrough, when it comes, will be all the sweeter for the wait.
