The most recent outings tell an interesting story. A third place, then a second, with a gap either side — that kind of pattern suggests a horse that shows up when conditions suit but perhaps needs everything to fall just right. The problem is that "just right" hasn't translated into a win yet, and six races without a victory is a run that will test anyone's patience.
Simon Cavanagh trains Clone Cross out of Mullingar in Co. Westmeath, a yard that has sent out one winner so far this season. That's a modest tally, and it means Clone Cross finding the winner's enclosure would be a genuine boost for the team. The horse raced just yesterday, so the yard — the yard, rather — are clearly keeping it busy and looking for the right opportunity.
At this stage, Clone Cross is a horse with more questions than answers. The placed efforts show it has ability, but whether it can translate that into a win remains to be seen.
