Look at the form figures and work backwards: a seventh, then a third, then a fifth, then a tenth most recently. That is not a horse improving — it is one that had a promising middle chapter and has since gone the wrong way. The third-place finish stands out as the clear highlight, proof that at the right moment, on the right day, this horse can compete. But the latest run — a tenth — will have the team asking questions, and those answers matter more now than they did a month ago.
The trainer is Ivan Furtado, based at Wiseton in South Yorkshire, and the yard is in decent form this season with 34 winners already on the board. That is a healthy operation, and it means Dontwaste A Moment is at least in capable hands. Furtado knows how to place horses and find the right opportunity, which will be exactly what is needed here — finding a race where this horse's best can come out rather than its worst.
Having raced just yesterday, the team clearly believes there is something worth pursuing. At three years old, there is still time to figure things out. But right now, Dontwaste A Moment needs to rediscover whatever produced that placed run — and quickly.
