That said, context matters here. Being two years old means Chiquitita Bee is essentially a teenager learning a very physical and demanding trade, and it is not uncommon for horses at this stage to take several runs before things start to click. The fact that she raced just yesterday shows the team are keeping her busy and active, which suggests they still believe there is something worth developing.
The trainer is Adrian McGuinness, based in Lusk, County Dublin, and his yard has sent out 45 winners already this season — a strong return that marks him out as someone who knows how to get a horse ready to perform. When a yard is firing at that kind of volume, the horses in it tend to be well-prepared. Chiquitita Bee may not have converted that preparation into a win yet, but she is in capable hands while she waits for things to fall into place.
