Goin'

Trained by A J Martin at Summerhill in County Meath, Goin' is part of a yard that has found the winner's circle thirteen times already this season. That gap between the yard's overall success and this particular horse's record tells you something: Goin' sits at the lower end of what Martin trains, a horse without the class or consistency to compete at the level where wins come easy. At this stage of its career — six years old and winless — Goin' is likely competing in races suited to its ability, picking up the occasional placing but rarely threatening to win. It remains active and racing regularly, which suggests the yard still see value in running it, but the numbers suggest a horse that may have simply found its level: serviceable, game enough to be placed now and then, but without quite the turn of foot or tactical nous to get over the line.
