The fourth-place finish stands out as the closest it has come — proof that a degree of ability is there, even if converting it into a result has so far proved elusive. With only four races under its belt, there is still plenty of time for things to click. Two-year-olds develop quickly, and a horse that finishes fourth one week can look entirely different a month later.
Baila Morena is trained by Ollie Pears, whose yard in Norton, North Yorkshire, has sent out nine winners already this season — so the operation clearly knows how to get horses performing. The fact that Baila Morena raced just yesterday suggests the team is keeping the horse busy and looking for the right opportunity. Sometimes it takes a young horse a few runs just to work out what racing is actually about, and patience from a yard that is clearly firing on all cylinders is no bad thing.
