What makes the next chapter genuinely interesting is the gap. Seti hasn't raced in around 11 months, and comebacks from long breaks can go either way — sometimes a horse returns refreshed and sharper than ever, sometimes the rust takes time to shake off. The recent form before that break wasn't encouraging, with finishes of 9th, 6th, 6th, 4th, 9th, and 1st reading from oldest to most recent — so there was a slide in form before the horse was put away. Whether that break was planned or forced by injury or setback, we don't know, but it adds a question mark over what version of Seti turns up next time out.
The yard behind the horse is worth noting. Noel Meade is a seasoned operator based in Castletown, Co Meath, and his team have sent out 41 winners already this season — a healthy total that suggests a yard in good form with plenty of horses running well. When a trainer of that calibre keeps a horse in training, there is usually a reason to think there is more to come. Whether Seti can justify that patience, and maybe find its way back to a track like Dundalk where it has already shown it can win, is the question worth watching.
