What works in Blazing Duke's favour is the quality of the stable behind him. Trainer Paul Nolan, based in Enniscorthy, Co. Wexford, has sent out 23 winners already this season — a healthy haul that tells you this is a yard that knows how to get horses ready to win races. When a trainer is operating at that kind of level, it usually means they believe the horses in their care have the ability to compete. Blazing Duke may not have fired yet, but he is not being given up on.
Having raced just one day ago, there is clearly an active campaign underway. The team are giving him every opportunity to find his feet, and at five years old, he is not short of time. Some horses simply take longer to put it all together. Whether Blazing Duke is one of those remains to be seen, but with a busy trainer and a recent run under his belt, the next race may not be far away.
