Jenny Jerome

Her last six races tell a mixed story. Two weeks ago she finished second, which is her best recent result and shows she can threaten winners. Before that she managed another top-three finish with a third-place effort, but sandwiched between them were some tougher days—an eighth place, a fifth, and a fourth. That kind of inconsistency is typical of a young horse still learning the job, particularly one competing at Class 4 level, where she has run three times without a win.

Jenny Jerome is trained by Simon Hodgson at Dogmersfield in Hampshire, a yard that has had eight winners this season and clearly knows how to get horses right for their races. At three years old, she still has time to develop, and the fact that she keeps finishing finished in the top 3 suggests she belongs in better races than some of her recent outings. With a second place just recently behind her, patience may yet be rewarded.
