The recent form makes for interesting reading: second, sixth, sixth, second, third, working backwards from the most recent run. That pair of sixth-place finishes in the middle of the sequence stands out — two races where things clearly didn't click — but Concert Pitch has bounced back on either side of them, which is a decent sign of resilience in a young horse still learning the job. With a race just yesterday, this is very much a horse mid-campaign, and the trainer will be watching carefully for that breakthrough moment.
The trainer is Brian Ellison, who operates out of Norton in North Yorkshire. His yard has sent out 43 winners already this season, which paints a picture of a busy, capable operation that knows how to get horses ready to perform. Ellison is not a trainer who fills his boxes with horses just to make up the numbers — a stable firing out that volume of winners is one that targets races with purpose. The fact that Concert Pitch keeps running competitively, without yet winning, in a yard of that calibre suggests the team believe there is a victory coming. They wouldn't keep running a horse that wasn't showing promise at home.
At two years old, Concert Pitch is still essentially a teenager finding its feet in the sport. Horses this age develop quickly, and a single race can change the picture entirely. The placings are there, the experience is building, and the backing of a trainer who clearly knows what he's doing means this is one to keep an eye on. The win column will not stay empty forever.
