Big Take races at Class 5 level, which is the entry level of British racing — the place where horses are finding their feet, or where more experienced horses come to win races they can actually compete in. At that level, Big Take has managed zero wins from three attempts, which is a tough record to look at. That said, four races is a genuinely small sample. Some horses take time to figure things out, and a horse that has never finished worse than eleventh is at least turning up and competing, even if the results are not there yet.
The yard behind Big Take, trained by Thomas Faulkner out of Devauden in Monmouthshire, has sent out 16 winners this season, which shows this is a functioning, productive operation — not a yard where horses simply go to make up numbers. Faulkner clearly knows how to get horses to win races. Whether Big Take can become one of those winners is the question. The horse raced just yesterday, so it is very much an active story with more chapters still to come.
