The recent form makes for interesting reading. Its last five races read 15th, 5th, 2nd, 5th, 2nd — a real rollercoaster. Those two runner-up finishes show there is ability in there, but the two fifth-place efforts and that distant 15th suggest a horse still finding its feet and perhaps not always firing on all cylinders. For a two-year-old, that kind of inconsistency is actually fairly normal. Younger horses are still learning what racing even is, and it often takes time before the penny drops and they start putting it all together in one run.
Where Call Me Tomorrow does have a serious advantage is in its training. Richard Hannon's yard at Herridge in Wiltshire is one of the most productive operations in Britain right now — 118 winners already this season is a remarkable number, roughly one every two or three days. When a yard is firing at that rate, you can be fairly confident the horses are well-prepared and well-placed in the right races. Hannon has a long track record of developing young horses, which means Call Me Tomorrow is learning the trade in very good hands. If there is improvement to come — and with a two-year-old there almost always is — this is a yard well-equipped to find it.
The big question for Call Me Tomorrow is whether those two near-misses can be converted into a win before the season is out. It raced just yesterday, so it is clearly in good enough shape to keep running. Watch for whether Hannon drops it into a softer contest to give it a confidence boost, or keeps it at the same level and hopes the consistency improves. Either way, for a young horse still learning its job, the story is far from written.
