That said, one race tells you almost nothing about a horse. Some need time to figure out what is being asked of them, and plenty of decent careers have started with an inauspicious first effort. Whether Found A Star is one of those is a question only the next few runs will answer.
What is worth noting is the stable behind the horse. Trainer J P Dempsey, based in Carbury, Co Kildare, has sent out 16 winners already this season — a yard clearly in good form and operating with confidence. Horses from a stable running hot tend to be well-prepared when they show up, so if Found A Star heads out again soon, it will do so with a team that knows how to get horses ready to run their best.
