There is not a great deal to judge on yet, and that is completely normal for a youngster this early in its career. What is worth noting is who has it in their hands. Trainer Joseph Patrick O'Brien, based at Owning Hill in County Kilkenny, has sent out 160 winners this season alone — that is a formidable operation, and horses that come through it tend to have plenty of opportunity to find their feet and improve. A single seventh-place finish tells you almost nothing at this stage. Some of the best horses in training looked unremarkable first time out.
For now, Belicoso is a work in progress, and the only sensible thing to do is watch and wait.
