Wonderful Wendy

Her last five races tell a story of inconsistency. She came home fifth most recently, then sixth before that, sandwiched between a second place and another fifth. It is the kind of form that suggests a horse knocking on the door without quite breaking through. James Evans, her trainer at Kinnersley in Worcestershire, has had a productive season overall with eight winners sent out from the yard, so Wendy is part of a team that knows how to get horses in the winner's circle—just not this one, at least not yet. She remains in active competition, so there is still time for that first win to arrive. For now, she is a horse still waiting for the moment when everything falls into place.
