What is worth noting is the yard behind him. John and Sean Quinn, based in Norton, North Yorkshire, have sent out 44 winners already this season, which marks them out as a yard in form and clearly capable of getting horses ready to perform. Having that kind of support behind a young, unproven horse is no small thing — it means Black Velvet Boy will be trained by people who know exactly what it takes to find the right race at the right time.
At this stage, the honest answer is that we simply don't know enough yet. One run, a seventh-place finish, and a return to the yard. The story is only just starting.
