Martha Brown

Her recent form reads 3-9 — a third-place finish in her most recent outing, and a ninth before that. The third place is the more encouraging number: it means she beat most of the field and wasn't far from the places that matter. She raced just yesterday, so this is a horse very much in active campaign right now.

She is trained by Kathy Turner at a yard based in Sigwells, Somerset. Turner's team has sent out six winners this season, which shows a stable in decent working order. For a young horse like Martha Brown, being in a yard that knows how to get winners out is exactly the kind of environment where improvement tends to happen. Two-year-olds are essentially rookies — they are still figuring out the game — and a third-place finish this early suggests there may be more to come once experience and confidence build.
