Nevermindtherain

That operation has sent out 144 winners already this season alone. To put that in perspective, many professional trainers go entire careers without reaching that number in total. Being part of a team producing winners at that volume means Nevermindtherain is surrounded by serious horses, serious staff, and serious expectation — which also means the races it has been entered in are unlikely to have been easy introductions to the sport.

A fifth place from two attempts, with the most recent race coming just yesterday, tells you this is a horse still finding its feet. Two-year-olds develop rapidly, and it is not unusual for horses at this stage to take several races before everything clicks. What matters is that the team clearly believes there is something worth running — and when you have 144 winners on the board this season, you do not waste entries on horses with no future.
