Win rate and top-3 rate will show once this horse has raced.
That is the draw of any debut runner: pure potential, no certainty. O'Shea will have schooled and prepared I Never Said privately, but what happens when the gates spring open and the horse steps out with a crowd watching is always a question mark. The training yard's form this season — six winners already — suggests the team knows how to get horses ready, which is encouraging. Whether I Never Said will be the seventh is down to the horse itself, and we will find out only when it runs.
