Teggy Lasso

That said, Teggy Lasso raced just yesterday, so it is very much an active campaign, and the trainer Ivan Furtado has shown he knows how to get horses winning. His yard at Wiseton in South Yorkshire has sent out 34 winners already this season, which is a healthy total and suggests this is an operation that puts its horses in races they can genuinely compete in. The fact that Teggy Lasso hasn't broken through yet isn't necessarily a reflection on the yard — some horses simply take time, and others find their moment when conditions or competition align just right.

For now, Teggy Lasso remains one of those horses you file under "nearly". Consistent enough to stay involved, not yet sharp enough to win. Whether that changes soon is the question — but with an active trainer and racing continuing, there is at least another chapter still to be written.
