The numbers are honest rather than flattering. One win from ten races means Concert wins roughly 1 in every 10 times it lines up, and it has now gone six races without adding to that tally. The recent form makes for mixed reading — a third place here, a fourth there, but also a couple of finishes well down the field (tenth and thirteenth in the last six outings). That inconsistency is the puzzle. On its best days, Concert is competitive. On its worst, it disappears into the pack.
What keeps the story interesting is the team behind the horse. Jack Channon's yard at West Ilsley in Berkshire has been in fine form this season, sending out 46 winners — a serious operation that knows how to place a horse to its best advantage. Concert raced just yesterday, which tells you the team is actively searching for the right opportunity to get that second win on the board. With a trainer in that kind of form, it would be unwise to write Concert off entirely.
At three years old, there is still time for this horse to find its feet and deliver something better than what the record currently shows.
