De Jour En Jour

Trained by Ross O'Sullivan at Kilcullen in County Kildare, De Jour En Jour is part of a yard that has sent out 40 winners already this season, so the infrastructure and expertise are plainly there. What makes this horse interesting is its consistency in the placings — five finishes in the first three without a win is unusual enough to raise the question of whether it simply needs the right race, the right conditions, or perhaps just the luck that sometimes separates a third place from a first. It is active and racing regularly, which suggests the trainer still believes there is something to work with. For a horse that has never broken through, being competitive enough to finish second or third on multiple occasions is not nothing — it sits on the edge of breakthrough form, waiting for something to click.
