Bit Of A Buzz

The recent form reading 2-3-4-4-4-3 shows a horse that has actually been improving at the business end of its career so far. Those back-to-back placings — a third just yesterday and a second before that — suggest Bit Of A Buzz is rounding into form at the right time. Racing just one day ago and already in the profile conversation, this is clearly a horse being kept busy by the yard, which usually means the yard believe there is a race to be won in the near future.

The trainer is Gavin Cromwell, operating out of Navan in Co. Meath, and his record this season gives plenty of reason for optimism. Ninety-six winners sent out in a single season is a serious number — that is roughly two winners every week, the kind of output that puts a yard firmly in the top tier of Irish racing. When a trainer of that calibre keeps running a horse, keeps it active and competitive, it is usually because they can see something the results sheet does not yet reflect. Bit Of A Buzz has not won yet, but it is in exactly the right hands to change that.
