Schoolyard Days

Trained by M C Grassick at the Curragh in County Kildare, Schoolyard Days is at least in capable hands. The yard has sent out 6 winners already this season, which shows the operation knows how to get horses to perform when the moment is right. The question is whether Schoolyard Days can find a race that suits well enough to get off the mark.

At this stage, the honest assessment is that the results haven't come. No wins, no places from 5 races is a tough record to look past, and until there's a change in form, it's hard to point to a reason for optimism beyond the simple fact that the horse is young, still active, and trainers of Grassick's calibre tend to be patient with their horses for good reason.
