What makes the situation more interesting is the company Eitilt is keeping. The yard responsible for this horse is trained by P J Rothwell, based in Tinahely, County Wicklow, and it has been a productive season — 36 winners sent out, which is a meaningful number and suggests this is not an operation that struggles to get its horses to perform on the day. When a busy, successful yard keeps running a horse, it generally means they believe there is a race to be won somewhere. Eitilt raced just one day ago, so whatever happened last time out is still fresh, and the team clearly has plans in motion.
The recent form figures — finishing 11th, 14th, and claiming that one place — paint a picture of a horse still finding its level. There is no disgrace in that, but it does mean Eitilt needs to find significant improvement to start troubling the judge.
