The trouble is consistency. Over the last six outings, Bullington Bry has managed only one top-three finish — a second place three runs back — and otherwise scattered results that suggest the horse is genuinely trying but simply not good enough at the level it's competing. At Class 6, the lowest rung of racing, Bullington Bry has yet to break through in 9 attempts. The recent form, which includes an eighth-place finish just yesterday, shows the horse is racing regularly but getting no closer to that elusive first win.
For a four-year-old with 8 minor placings from 24 races, there is something honourable about keeping trying. Some horses quit the game earlier. Bullington Bry is still out there, still finishing in the frame often enough to pay out here and there, still in the care of a trainer who evidently sees something worth nurturing. Whether a breakthrough is coming or whether this is simply the level at which this horse will spend its racing life remains to be seen.
