What gives the situation some genuine optimism is the yard behind it. Trainer Tim Easterby, based at Great Habton in North Yorkshire, has sent out 126 winners already this season. That is a serious number — it tells you this is a busy, well-organised operation that knows how to get horses ready to perform. When a stable is firing at that kind of volume, the horses in their care tend to get their opportunities at the right time, against the right competition. Turnstile raced just yesterday, so it is clearly fit and being campaigned actively, which suggests the team believe there is more to come.
Three races is still a small sample for a young horse. Two-year-olds are learning their job with every run, and a form line of 4-3-4 — placed once, just outside the places twice — isn't a story of a horse going backwards. It's a horse that keeps showing up and finishing in the mix. The next few races will tell us a lot more.
