Big Effort

Big Effort is a two-year-old still finding his feet on the track. He has run once so far, finishing 12th, which is the sort of result that tells you very little except that he needs time to develop. At this stage of a young horse's career, a single outing is barely a starting point — plenty of horses take a few runs to understand what racing is about, let alone show what they might be capable of doing. He raced just a day ago, so whatever happens next will give a much clearer picture of whether this horse has genuine ability or whether his the yard are still searching for his best distance and conditions. Early days, in other words, but the journey has begun.
