What has clearly clicked is the ground. On normal conditions Applicationofcash has won 3 of 6 races — that is a 50% win rate, which is exceptional by any standard. In racing, finding the conditions a horse loves is half the battle, and it seems this one has found its sweet spot. The yard will be watching the forecast.
That yard is Gordon Treacy's operation at Higher Lowton Stables in Devon, a small setup that has sent out two winners this season — of which Applicationofcash accounts for more than its fair share of the good news. Treacy has been patient with this horse, and right now that patience looks justified.
Applicationofcash competes at Class 5, which is the bread-and-butter level of British racing — competitive, but not the top tier. Winning 1 from 5 at that level across the career as a whole is unspectacular, but the recent purple patch suggests something has changed. Three wins in the last six races at any level would turn heads; at a horse's own level, it marks them out as a genuine player right now. With a race just yesterday, this is a horse to keep an eye on while the good ground lasts.
