The closest thing to a defining partnership in the yard is with Deluca Chop, a horse Duffy has run together in 20 races without a victory to show for it. Twenty races is a meaningful sample — most people would have moved on long before that — and the loyalty is either admirable or puzzling depending on how you look at it.

What keeps a trainer going through a run like this is genuinely hard to say from the outside, and it would be unfair to guess. What is clear is that Duffy is still putting horses on the track and still trying. Whether a first winner is around the corner is anyone's guess, but in racing, it only takes one.
