Girl Bear

The recent form tells an interesting story. Her two thirds bookend a rough patch in the middle — a ninth and a seventh — which hints at some inconsistency. Whether that's down to ground conditions, distance, or simply a young horse finding her feet is the question Jack Foley and his team at Bagenalstown will be working to answer. Foley's yard has sent out 4 winners already this season, so there's clearly ability in the string, and Girl Bear will be hoping to add to that tally before long.

With a race just yesterday, she's clearly in a busy spell, and that kind of active campaigning with a young horse often signals that the yard — sorry, that the team — believe a win is close. Sometimes it just takes finding the right race at the right moment, and for Girl Bear, that moment may not be far away.
