What is worth noting is where he sits. He is trained by Brian Meehan at the Manton yard in Wiltshire, a setup that has sent out 12 winners already this season. That is a yard in form, which means Herbert Hall is getting every chance to improve — good horses around him, a training environment that clearly knows how to get results. When a yard is winning races at that rate, it suggests the horses in their care are being placed and prepared well. Herbert Hall just needs to start translating that into performances on the track.
At two years old, with only two races to his name, it is genuinely too early to write him off. Some young horses take half a season just to work out what racing is about. The next run — and given he raced just yesterday, that may be a little way off — will tell us something more useful about whether he is improving or still searching for his best.
