What stands out in the recent form is the direction of travel. Reading the last five races from oldest to newest — fifth, third, second, fourth, eighth — it is admittedly a little inconsistent, and that latest run of eighth will have been a disappointment. But the second place in that sequence shows the horse is capable of mixing it near the front, and at five years old there is still time to put it all together.
The trainer is Tom Lacey, who operates out of Woolhope in Herefordshire, and his yard has been in strong form this season with 37 winners already on the board. That is a healthy total, and it means Myrighthandman is at least in capable hands — horses from a yard firing like that tend to be well-prepared and placed in races where they have a genuine chance. Lacey is not a trainer who throws horses in at the deep end without reason. Myrighthandman raced just yesterday, so it is clearly fit and being kept active, which suggests the team believe a win is within reach.
Until that first victory arrives, Myrighthandman remains one of racing's nearly horses — present, placed occasionally, but not yet a winner. Whether the record changes soon will depend on finding the right opportunity.
