Trained by the father-and-son partnership of Michael and David Easterby at their Sheriff Hutton yard in North Yorkshire, August Spring is at least in capable hands. The stable has sent out 51 winners this season alone, which tells you this is a yard that knows how to get horses winning. The puzzle, for now, is that August Spring hasn't been one of them.
What makes the situation worth watching is the timing. August Spring raced just yesterday, so whatever the Easterbys are working on with this horse, the story is very much still being written. Yards with 51 winners in a season don't keep running a horse for nothing — there will be a plan, even if the results haven't shown it yet. Sometimes a horse takes time to figure out, and sometimes the right race simply hasn't come along. For August Spring, that moment is still outstanding.
