Midnight Media

What makes the story worth following is who is doing the training. William Muir and Chris Grassick operate out of Lambourn in Berkshire — one of British racing's most established centres — and they have hit the ground running this season, sending out 21 winners already. A yard that is winning at that kind of rate clearly knows how to get horses ready to perform, which means Midnight Media is not short of expertise in her corner. The fact that she raced just yesterday tells you she is fit and active, and her team has not given up on finding the right opportunity for her.

At this early stage, three races is a small sample. Plenty of horses take time to find their feet, and a patient yard with a full book of winners is well placed to keep trying different options until something clicks. Whether Midnight Media ever rewards that patience is the open question — but she is young, she is still running, and the door is very much not closed yet.
