Call Me Tomorrow

So far, the record reads zero wins from two races, with one placed finish to show for the effort. The most recent run came just a day ago, a fifth-place finish, and before that a second — so the trend is actually moving in the wrong direction, which is worth noting. Finishing second suggested real promise early on, the kind of run that makes a yard excited about what might be possible. The follow-up performance, ending fifth, was a step back, though it would be harsh to read too much into that at this stage. Two-year-olds are notoriously inconsistent — they are essentially teenagers finding their feet, and the gap between a second and a fifth can come down to something as simple as the draw, the pace of the race, or just a bad day at the office.

What gives this profile some genuine interest is the stable it comes from. When your trainer is sending out winners at the rate Hannon's yard is managing this season — 118 is a number that most trainers would be thrilled with across an entire career, let alone a single campaign — it suggests the infrastructure and expertise are there to develop a young horse properly. Call Me Tomorrow has not won yet, but it has shown enough to keep the yard hopeful, and in the hands of a yard firing at this level, there is every reason to watch the next run with interest.
