Trained by Chris Grant at his yard in Billingham, Cleveland, Stitching Wheel competes at what is known as Class 4 level — a solid middle tier of racing, not the glamour end of the sport but competitive enough that you need ability to get a look-in. The yard has sent out four winners this season, so Grant knows how to get a horse ready to win. The challenge is finding the right opportunity for this particular one, which has gone 0 from 3 at that level so far.
At some point, every racing team has to weigh up whether a horse simply needs more time, a different type of race, or a change of conditions to unlock something. For Stitching Wheel, that breakthrough moment hasn't arrived yet — but with a trainer who is getting winners on the board this season, it would be premature to write the horse off entirely. The search for a first win continues.
