The recent form tells a straightforward story: Houquetot has not broken through into a winning position in its last five races, finishing 10th, 4th, 7th, 9th, and 5th. While there are small signs of consistency in those middle placings, the overall pattern suggests the horse has not yet found the right race or conditions. Owen's Newmarket yard has been prolific this season with 205 winners to its name, so the trainer has the quality and experience to spot improvement when it comes.
At four years old, Houquetot is at an age when many horses either establish themselves as useful campaigners or drift down the racing ladder. The fact that the horse is still being run regularly indicates Owen sees potential worth developing, even if results have not yet arrived. For now, it remains a work in progress.
