Supremissy

What gives this horse a genuine platform for improvement is who is doing the training. Iain Jardine runs his yard out of Carrutherstown in Dumfries and Galloway, and this season his team has sent out 57 winners — a serious tally that marks Jardine out as one of the more productive yards in the game right now. A trainer hitting that kind of output tends to know when a horse is ready to run and when it needs time, which means Supremissy racing just yesterday suggests Jardine sees something worth pressing on with. Yards that win at that volume do not waste entries on horses they have given up on.

At three years old, Supremissy is still young enough that patience is entirely the right response. Many horses take time to find their feet, and the gap between a placed finish and a win can close quickly once things fall into place — the right race, the right conditions, the right day. With an active trainer and a horse that has already shown it can get involved, the first win may not be far away.
