The Brave Guy

Three races, three finishes in the bottom half of the field, and not a single place to show for it. That is the story so far for The Brave Guy, a six-year-old who has finished fifth, ninth, and seventh across his three races to date. The most recent of those came just yesterday, so he is very much a horse still in the thick of it — though the results have not yet given his trainer much to shout about.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

He is trained by Jennie Candlish at her yard in Basford, Staffordshire, and that is arguably the most encouraging thing about his situation. Candlish has sent out 61 winners already this season, which tells you she knows how to get a horse ready to win. A yard that productive does not run out of ideas quickly, and The Brave Guy will presumably keep getting chances to find his feet.

The honest truth is that three races is still a small sample. Some horses take time to work out what racing is actually asking of them. Whether The Brave Guy is one of those, or simply a horse who finds finishing near the front a difficult habit to form, is something only more time and more races will answer.
