Jockey Elle-May Croot has been the regular partner, riding Another Beautiful nine times without a win between them. That kind of long-running partnership without reward can say two things — either there is real loyalty and belief in the horse, or simply that no one else is rushing to take the ride. At the level this horse competes at, Class 5 — the entry level of British racing, where horses are given every chance to win — the record is seven races and zero wins. When a horse cannot win at the lowest level of the sport, it raises honest questions about whether a breakthrough is coming at all.
The trainer, Ivan Furtado, operates out of Wiseton in South Yorkshire and has had a productive season, sending out 43 winners. That shows the yard clearly knows how to get horses to win — which makes Another Beautiful something of an outlier in the stable. The horse raced just yesterday, so the yard are clearly keeping faith and keeping it busy. Whether that persistence eventually pays off, or whether Another Beautiful becomes one of those horses that just finds a way to finish in the middle of the pack forever, remains to be seen. For now, the name feels like a small, gentle joke the racing world keeps telling.
