What gives that record some weight is who is doing the training. G M Lyons, based at Dunsany in County Meath, has sent out 49 winners already this season — that is not a yard throwing horses at the wall and hoping something sticks. That is a serious, well-run operation, and when a stable like that keeps running a horse, it usually means they believe there is a race to be won somewhere down the line.
The recent form figures — 3, 5, 4, 2, reading from oldest to most recent — actually show a horse that is heading in the right direction. That last run, a second place, is the best result of the four, and with Genchev having raced just one day ago, we are right in the middle of the story. Whether that near-miss translates into a first victory very soon is the question worth watching.
