Dave's Matey
Two races, two disappointing finishes — Dave's Matey hasn't given punters much to shout about yet. The two-year-old has finished 10th and 13th in its only outings so far, which means it has yet to trouble the judge or even grab a minor placing. That's a tough start, though it's worth remembering that plenty of young horses need time to find their feet, and two races is a very small sample.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What works in Dave's Matey's favour is who is doing the training. Tim Easterby's yard at Great Habton in North Yorkshire is one of the most productive operations in the country right now, having sent out 126 winners already this season — that's not a barn that makes excuses for long. Easterby has a well-earned reputation for bringing young horses along steadily, and the fact that Dave's Matey raced just one day ago suggests the team is keeping the horse busy and looking for improvement. Sometimes a horse just needs the penny to drop, and it tends to drop a lot faster when you're trained by someone who clearly knows how to find a winner.
