May Bee In Profit

The form reads well: a win last time out, a second a couple of races back, a third before that. Over seven total races, May Bee In Profit has won two and finished in the money four times, which works out to roughly one win in every three and a half races—a respectable win rate for a young horse still learning its trade. The first win came at Carlisle in late May, and the fact that another victory followed so recently at Ripon suggests the horse isn't a one-time wonder. It raced yesterday and is still actively campaigned, meaning the yard see enough in it to keep going forward.

Trained by T D Easterby at Great Habton in North Yorkshire, May Bee In Profit has the backing of one of the busier yards in the country. The Easterby stable has already sent out 128 winners this season, so the horse is in a setup built for turning out regular winners. For a two-year-old with just two victories and four places from seven races, the immediate challenge is proving those early wins weren't a flash in the pan. The next few months will tell whether May Bee In Profit is on its way to becoming a reliable money-earner or settling as a modest performer at its current level.
