Divelment

The partnership with jockey James Ryan, who has ridden Divelment eight times, has not yielded success either—eight rides without a win between them. William Durkan, who trains the horse at Sandyford in County Dublin, has had a respectable season overall with fifteen winners sent out from his yard, suggesting the issue lies more with this particular horse than with the trainer's ability to prepare competitive runners. For a three-year-old still chasing that first win, Divelment faces the growing challenge that every outing without victory makes breaking through harder, not easier. The recent third-place finish offers a glimmer—it is the best result in the last six races—but consistency has eluded it so far.
