Bee Farmer is a 3-year-old horse still in search of its first win after five outings, though it did manage a second-place finish somewhere in that run. The horse was last seen in action just a day ago, finishing fifth, so it is clearly being given plenty of racing opportunities by trainer
Edward Bethell. Bethell's Middleham yard is in fine form this season with 61 winners already, so the trainer knows what he is doing — this looks like a case of Bee Farmer needing time to develop rather than a yard struggling to find form. The horse's recent races tell the story: a fifth, fourth, seventh, second, and sixth, which shows some inconsistency but at least one solid effort. That second-place finish is worth noting, because it proves Bee Farmer can get competitive in a race, even if the wins are not yet coming. For a young horse with only five races under its belt, this is not unusual territory. Plenty of horses take time to break their duck, and being trained by someone running a hot yard is a decent sign that better days might be ahead.
