Boston Beach

The recent form tells a story of a horse that comes close without quite getting there. In its last six races, Boston Beach has finished third twice — most recently yesterday and once before that — and has also placed eleventh and thirteenth. Those middle-distance placings suggest the horse is struggling to find the right level or distance, and there is a real gap between running respectably and getting into the money. With no wins from six attempts, Boston Beach sits at 0%, meaning every single race has ended without victory. For a seven-year-old still racing regularly, this is a horse that has never quite managed to deliver, yet Elliott keeps running it, which suggests either there is something to work with in training or the horse is simply earning its keep by competing. Either way, Boston Beach remains in the game, even if the trophy cabinet stays empty.
