What keeps the story interesting is who has the horse in training. Ruth Carr, based at Stillington in North Yorkshire, has already sent out 56 winners this season — that is a yard firing on all cylinders, and a trainer who clearly knows how to place a horse to give it the best chance. Having 56 winners in a season is a serious number, the kind that tells you this is not a small operation hoping to get lucky. Carr has a track record of finding the right race for the right horse, which means Billyjoegold, despite its blank scorecard, is at least in capable hands.
Billyjoegold raced just yesterday, so this is very much a story still being written. It may simply be a horse that needs time, a specific set of conditions, or one race to click into gear. For now, patience — and perhaps Ruth Carr's judgement — is what it has going for it.
