Mountain Sky

The horse's last four races tell a mixed story: a seventh place, then back-to-back seconds, followed by that fifth-place result. The two placed finishes show Mountain Sky can be competitive at the right level, even if it hasn't quite managed to get its head in front. For a four-year-old with zero wins from four attempts, consistent placing is at least a sign that the horse belongs in the races it's being entered for, rather than being hopelessly outclassed. Whether those seconds become a win will depend on O'Leary finding the right race and the right conditions — something the active race schedule suggests the yard is continuing to pursue.
