Honouramongthieves

Trained by C. W. J. Farrell at Bunclody in County Wexford, Honouramongthieves is part of a yard that has been productive this season, sending out six winners already. The fact that this particular horse remains winless after nine attempts — and hasn't finished better than fifth in its last six races — points to either a horse still developing its ability or one that may be hitting a ceiling at this stage of its career. At three years old there is still time for improvement, but the pattern of consistent mid-field finishes without signs of real progress is the kind that tests a trainer's patience and an owner's resolve. Whether Honouramongthieves will break through remains to be seen, but for now it remains a horse that tries but hasn't yet found its groove.
