Bobbys Pride

What makes this worth noting is that Bobbys Pride raced just yesterday, so this is very much an active, ongoing story rather than a chapter already closed. Three-year-olds are still learning their trade, and some take longer than others to figure it all out. The question the trainer will be asking is whether the occasional improvement — that fifth place stands out against a backdrop of single-figure finishes — hints at something worth persevering with, or whether the overall picture is simply one of a horse that hasn't found its level yet. At this stage, every race is still part of the search for an answer.
