Do Bronxs

The last six runs paint a picture of middling returns: a fourth place followed by a second, then an eighth, a fifth, another second, and a seventh. There is enough consistency there to indicate Do Bronxs is not a complete write-off — two placings in the last half-dozen outings show it can still run respectably — but the absence of a win in that stretch is troubling for a horse that has already raced eleven times. It is trained by David Loughnane at Stoke Heath in Shropshire, a yard that has enjoyed a productive season with 39 winners to its name, so the environment is solid. The horse does have a distance sweet spot: over five to six and a half furlongs, it has won 1 of 5 races, a 20% win rate that is nearly three times better than its overall record. If Do Bronxs is to turn its fortunes around, running it at that distance and finding the right opportunity will be crucial — but at fifteen months without a win, time is ticking to prove it deserves a second chance to break through.
