Morningtoncrescent

The one genuinely encouraging element here is who is doing the training. Charlie Fellowes operates out of Newmarket, the heartland of British racing, and his yard has sent out 20 winners already this season — a figure that tells you this is a stable in good form, with horses running well. When a yard is firing like that, it suggests the problem is specific to this horse rather than anything going wrong at home. Fellowes has the tools and the track record to figure it out. Having raced just one day ago, Morningtoncrescent is clearly being kept busy, and the team have not given up on finding a race it can get competitive in. Sometimes it just takes time — and a three-year-old with a patient trainer in a hot yard is not the worst situation to be in.
