What matters at this stage is that Undercover Affair raced just yesterday and is clearly in good health and active training. Two-year-olds often take time to put it all together, and the fact that this one has finished second in one of its three outings means there is genuine ability there — it just hasn't quite converted yet.
The horse is trained by David Evans, who runs his operation out of Pandy in Monmouthshire. Evans is having a productive season — 37 winners already sent out from his yard is the kind of number that tells you this is a stable in form, with horses ready to run and run well. When a trainer is firing winners at that rate, it breeds confidence that the horses in their care are being put in the right spots at the right time. Undercover Affair is in good hands, and with a yard this active behind it, the opportunity to find the right race and the right day will come.
Zero wins is the headline, but it is far from the whole story. At two, with a place already on the board and a trainer sending out winners at a healthy clip, Undercover Affair looks like exactly the kind of horse worth keeping an eye on over the weeks ahead.
