Boston Breeze

The recent form figures of 7-7-4-13-6 paint a fairly consistent picture: competitive enough to avoid finishing last, but not yet finding the burst needed to get its nose in front. The fourth-place finish stands out as the brightest moment, suggesting there is some ability in there, though turning that into a win has so far proved elusive.

Trained by Liam P Cusack at his yard in Mountrath, Co Laois, Boston Breeze is part of a small operation that has sent out three winners this season — a modest but meaningful output that shows the yard does know how to get horses to the finish line first. Whether Boston Breeze can become one of those winners remains the question. Having raced as recently as yesterday, it is clearly in active work and the team have not given up on finding the right opportunity. Sometimes a horse just needs everything to click at once — the right race, the right conditions, the right day. Boston Breeze is still waiting for that day.
