Turnupdevolume

What makes the current moment interesting is the timing. Turnupdevolume raced just yesterday, so this is a horse very much in the thick of an active campaign. The trainer, R P O'Keeffe, has sent out three winners already this season, which tells you the yard knows how to get a horse ready to perform. The question now is whether Turnupdevolume can convert that placed form into a first victory before too long.

At 8 years old with only two races to its name, this is clearly a horse that has not been rushed. Whether that is down to physical development, careful management, or simply waiting for the right opportunity is hard to say, but the yard has clearly been patient. Two placings from two races is a tidy enough start — it just needs the stars to align for that breakthrough win.
