What works in Causing Problems' favour is where it's stabled. James Owen's yard at Newmarket is having a seriously productive season — 205 winners sent out is the kind of number that puts a training operation firmly in the conversation at the top of the sport. When a yard is firing at that volume, it tends to know exactly which horses are ready to run and which ones are still learning the ropes. The fact that Causing Problems keeps getting a run suggests the team sees something worth persevering with.
Racing at Class 4 level — essentially the middle tier of British racing, not the glamour events but not the bottom rung either — the horse has drawn a blank in all three races at that level. That's 0 from 3, a record that needs improving. But with a race just yesterday and an operation this active behind it, the next opportunity is unlikely to be far away. Sometimes it takes a horse a handful of outings just to figure out what racing is actually about, and at three years old, there's still time for the penny to drop.
