In My Teens

Her recent run has been promising. Just five weeks ago, she won at The Curragh on 28 June, and while her last six races show the kind of mixed results any horse produces — a win, a place, a sixth, a tenth, two more places — she was out again just a day ago, which tells you she's still in active work and her trainer sees enough potential to keep racing her. Gavin Cromwell's Navan yard isn't small either; he's sent out 96 winners already this season, so In My Teens is part of a sharp, busy operation.

What's particularly interesting about In My Teens is what Cromwell has planned next. She's run four times on the Flat and done enough to catch his eye for a different challenge. The trainer has schooled her over jumps and rates her jumping ability, which suggests she's being prepared to switch codes entirely and tackle hurdle racing. For a horse who's already shown she can win on the track, that's a natural next step — and it hints that Cromwell believes there's more to come from her at a different game.
