Evening Tess

Four races in, and Evening Tess is still waiting for her moment — but there are signs she is heading in the right direction. The four-year-old has yet to win from her four outings, though she has picked up two placed finishes along the way, suggesting she is competitive without yet having found a way to get her nose in front.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What is encouraging is the trajectory. Her two most recent races both ended in second place, a clear step up from the fifth and sixth she managed earlier in her career. That kind of improvement — however gradual — is exactly what a young horse's the yard hope to see as she learns her trade.

She runs out of Dan Skelton's powerful yard in Alcester, Warwickshire, and that is no small thing. Skelton has sent out 194 winners already this season, making his operation one of the most prolific in the country. Horses don't keep coming out of a yard like that without being well-placed and well-prepared, so the fact that Evening Tess raced just yesterday and remains active suggests the team believes there is more to come from her. She hasn't won yet — but she is in good hands, and she is trending the right way.
