The step forward to second place is the one bright spot worth holding onto. It means the ability is in there somewhere, even if it has yet to translate into a win from five attempts. At four years old, there is still time for things to click — horses can take a while to mature and find their confidence — but right now Lost In Wonder is an 0-from-5 record that demands patience from everyone involved.
Trainer Camilla Poulton operates a small yard in Lewes, East Sussex, and has sent out two winners this season. That is a modest total, and with Lost In Wonder running at Class 5 — the lower end of the racing ladder, where horses of this level typically compete — the yard will be hoping a first win comes sooner rather than later. The horse raced just one day ago, so the yard are clearly keeping it busy and looking for the right opportunity.
Until that second place, nothing in the form suggested a win was imminent, and the return to worse positions since then is not encouraging. But racing has a habit of surprising people, and a horse that has finished second knows what it feels like to be competitive. The question is whether Lost In Wonder can find that gear again — and hold it for long enough to get its nose in front.
