Douwantitrightnow

That said, the horse is only three years old and raced just yesterday, so the story is very much still being written. At this stage of a young horse's career, simply learning how to race and handle different situations has value, even if the results aren't showing it yet.

What gives the situation some credibility is the yard behind it. Kevin Ryan's operation at Hambleton in North Yorkshire has sent out 45 winners already this season — that is a yard firing on all cylinders, not one that struggles to get horses ready to perform. Ryan is no stranger to developing young horses into useful performers, which means Douwantitrightnow is at least in capable hands while it figures things out. Whether the horse eventually justifies the optimism baked into its name remains to be seen.
