What is encouraging is the most recent run. Coming home second last time out suggests Hatta Romance is learning and getting closer, which matters far more at this stage than the blank win column. A horse that places early in its career is at least showing it belongs on a racecourse, and that counts for something.
She is trained by M D I Usher at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, a yard that has sent out 14 winners already this season — a solid, productive operation. Upper Lambourn sits at the heart of British racing country, surrounded by some of the best gallops in the sport, and having that environment to develop in is no small advantage for a young horse still working things out. With Hatta Romance having raced as recently as yesterday, her team clearly has her fit and ready to run, and a first win could come sooner than her current record suggests.
