Ben Lomond

The horse has been a regular partner with jockey Harry Reed, who has partnered him in seven races without managing to steer him to the winner's enclosure. Ben Lomond typically races in Class 4 company, where he has yet to win from five attempts, a reflection of how tight competition is even at that level. His trainer, Gerard Kyne, runs a small operation that has saddled just one winner this season, so resources and opportunities may be limited. Despite the lack of success, the fact that Ben Lomond keeps racing and occasionally strikes the frame suggests he remains a horse the yard believes in enough to keep running. At six years old and still active, he has time yet to get his head in front — though with each race that passes without a win, that elusive first victory becomes a little harder to chase.
