What makes Wild Wild Wind worth watching, though, is the recent form. Looking at the last six races, this horse has finished second three times, third once, and fourth once. Only a single poor run — an eighth-place finish — breaks what is otherwise a remarkably consistent sequence of near-misses. A horse that keeps threatening like this is either on the verge of breaking through or has found its level just below winning grade. The question is which one.
Trained by M A Cahill out of Carrick-On-Suir in County Tipperary, Wild Wild Wind raced just yesterday and is firmly in active campaign. It is worth noting that Cahill's yard has sent out just one winner this season, so this is a small operation — which makes placing horses competitively, as they clearly are with Wild Wild Wind, a genuine achievement in itself. Find the right race and the right day, and that first win might not be far away.
