What gives the team reason to keep going is the trainer standing in their corner. Richard Hughes, operating out of Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, has sent out 60 winners already this season — a genuinely impressive output that marks him as one of the sharper operators in the training ranks right now. A yard producing at that rate clearly knows how to get horses ready to win, and two-year-olds in particular often take time to find their feet before clicking into gear. The fact that Havananother raced just yesterday suggests Hughes is keeping the horse active and looking for opportunities, rather than putting it away and waiting.
The honest truth is that three runs without a placing is a slow start, and the form figures don't lie. But two-year-olds are famously hard to read — some need four or five races before the penny drops, and a horse trained by someone firing in 60 winners a season is worth following a little longer before writing off entirely.
