What is worth paying attention to is who has the horse in their care. JP Murtagh's yard in Co Kildare has sent out 54 winners already this season, which marks it out as one of the more productive operations around. A trainer running at that kind of volume tends to know which horses are worth persevering with and which ones are ready to step forward. The fact that Shambata is still active — running just yesterday — suggests the team sees enough to keep going.
One race is a very small sample. The only honest thing to say right now is that Shambata is a young horse at the very beginning of its story, in the hands of a yard that clearly knows how to get horses winning. Whether that fourth place turns out to be the low point before a breakthrough, only the next few runs will tell.
