The Gosden yard at Newmarket has sent out 140 winners this season, so Go Rimbaud is in one of Britain's most formidable training operations. The horse first broke through at Kempton Park in April, which gave it a solid foundation, but the recent form in the past month—two wins bookending a run of placed efforts—suggests the trainer has found the right opportunities and the horse is responding. The most recent outing, just days ago, ended in a defeat of 15 lengths, which is sharper than the minor setbacks that came before, but a single poor run after two consecutive wins is not unusual or alarming for a young horse still proving itself.
What makes Go Rimbaud worth watching is the consistency of showing up in the placings even on days when it does not win. Four places from seven races means it is reliably competitive, which at three years old is exactly what you want to see. It is not a superstar yet, but it is a horse that appears to belong at the level where it is racing, with recent evidence that it is improving.
