Division

The trouble is what has happened since. Division has not won in the past twelve months, despite finishing in the top three in most of its recent races—three times in its last six outings. This is a horse that remains competitive and clearly knows how to run well, but something has stalled its progress. It wins roughly one race in every four when conditions are normal and ground is firm or standard; strip out the testing ground, and Division looks like a genuinely useful performer. But with no victory since York and racing just yesterday, Division is now in that tricky territory where a good horse can drift into being merely a solid one if the wins do not return soon. The question for Haggas and his team now is whether Division can rediscover whatever made it so impressive a year ago.
