The recent form reading of 11-–-9 tells its own story — a pair of last-place finishes either side of a missed run. The gap in the middle suggests a break in racing for whatever reason, and the return produced a ninth-place finish, so there is work to be done before Double Order starts threatening the sharp end of a field. Having raced just yesterday, the horse is clearly an active runner right now, and the team will be hoping things click into place sooner rather than later.
What does offer genuine encouragement is the yard behind the horse. Trainer Ian Patrick Donoghue, based out of Clonalvy in County Meath, has sent out 26 winners already this season — a meaningful tally that tells you this is a stable that knows how to get horses ready to win races. When a yard is firing at that rate, it suggests the horses in their care are placed carefully and prepared well. Double Order has not repaid that so far, but being in capable hands at least means the opportunity is there.
