The most telling aspect of Catullus's profile is consistency in the money. Six placed finishes alongside the two wins means the horse regularly runs well enough to earn a cheque, finishing in the frame in two-thirds of its races overall. More encouraging still is the upward trajectory: after that first win at Great Yarmouth over eighteen months ago, Catullus went through a lean spell but has plainly worked through it. The Goodwood success in May signals the horse has found a level where it can compete and win, rather than simply turn up hoping for the best.
Recent form shows the typical fluctuation of a young racehorse finding its feet. The last six outings have included a third-place finish, some forgettable efforts lower down the field, and that winning run at Goodwood that should give the yard real hope. At only three years old, Catullus still has room to develop, and under Charlie Appleby's training—a Newmarket stable that has already sent out 121 winners this season—there is every reason to think this horse will keep improving and rack up a few more victories before its career is out. The fact that it raced just a day ago and is actively campaigned means the yard are confident in its wellbeing and potential.
