Bold Step
Six years old and yet to win a race, Bold Step has still managed to finish in the top two in both of its career outings — a record that tells an interesting story. While zero wins from two races might sound underwhelming on paper, the fact that this horse has placed in every single race it has ever entered suggests there is genuine ability here. It just hasn't quite managed to get its nose in front yet.Based on TrackLab's analysis

What gives that potential some real weight is where Bold Step calls home. Trained by Nicky Henderson at Upper Lambourn, the horse is part of one of the most formidable yards in British racing. Henderson's team has sent out 90 winners already this season — a number that reflects a training operation firing at an extraordinary level. Being stabled there means Bold Step is surrounded by quality horses and expert care, which counts for plenty when a horse is still finding its feet in the sport.
With only two races to its name and a run just yesterday, Bold Step is clearly at the very beginning of its story. The consistent placing suggests it handles competition well and knows where the finish line is — now it's just a matter of finding the right opportunity to go one better and get that first win on the board.
