Trained by Jack Channon at West Ilsley in Berkshire, Thomas Picton at least finds himself in capable hands. Channon's yard has sent out 46 winners this season, which tells you this is an operation that knows how to get a horse ready to perform. The talent and the infrastructure are clearly there — Thomas Picton simply hasn't tapped into them yet.
At just three years old, he does have time on his side, and it is worth remembering that some horses take a while to figure out what is being asked of them. But with a run just yesterday, the yard — sorry, the team — will be doing some hard thinking about where to point him next. Three races, no wins, no places, and a finishing position that went in the wrong direction last time out means something needs to change. Whether that is the distance, the ground, or simply more time and patience, only Channon's yard will know.
