The trainer is Katy Brown, based at an undisclosed yard, and her operation has managed one winner this season so far. That is a small yard with limited firepower, which means Ballysax Boo is not arriving with the kind of backing or resources that come with a big, famous training centre.

That is partly what makes racing days exciting.
