Possum is a 3-year-old still finding his way on the track. He has run twice so far without winning, though he did finish in the places once, suggesting he has the ability to compete but hasn't yet put it all together. His most recent race, just a day ago, saw him finish eighth, a step back from his previous outing when he was third. He is trained by
Mrs John Harrington at Moone in County Kildare, a yard that has already sent out 53 winners this season — a sign of a sharp operation that knows how to prepare horses to win races. With only two races under his belt, Possum is still very much a work in progress, and there is time yet to see whether he will develop into a reliable racehorse or remain a maiden in terms of victories.
