Fern Clyde

Trained by Tim Easterby at Great Habton in North Yorkshire, Fern Clyde is part of a yard that has been firing on all cylinders this season with 128 winners already sent out. The sheer volume of winners from Easterby's operation suggests a well-oiled machine, and the trainer clearly knows how to get the best out of young horses. For Fern Clyde, the path forward is clear: build on that breakthrough win at Pontefract and string together some consistency. At just two years old and still racing, there is plenty of time for this horse to develop. The recent run, coming only yesterday, shows it is being campaigned regularly, which is typical for a young horse trying to learn the game. Whether Fern Clyde can turn those flashes of promise into more frequent visits to the winner's circle remains to be seen, but the Easterby stable is certainly the kind of outfit to make that happen.
