As Harry said a couple of weeks ago, we could rename this thread, something like "horses that will never win a race" or perhaps something just a bit snappier than that.

But not being totally discouraged I'm going to put up (sorry to all connected to the horse):

SLUGGSY MORANT a 3-y-o bay colt trained by Henry Candy.

He had four runs as a 2-y-o, not managing to get his head in front but finishing second in his last two outings, one at Bath and one at Nottingham. The race he won on Thursday wasn't a particularly strong event, Class 5, 0-75 six-furlong handicap, and Sluggsy (you gotta love the name) was racing off 71.

He moved well throughout the race and made ground very smoothly and with the minimum of effort, quickened in the final furlong and then idled. He could be called the winner some way out and he looks to have plenty of improvement in him.

He should get a bit further and appears to go on any ground.

Probably only a handicapper but he might turn into quite a good one.
