Her recent form tells an interesting story. She ran fifth, then was pulled up or didn't finish in one race, before bouncing back with a third and an eighth, and has since run second twice on the bounce. Two consecutive runner-up finishes heading into her most recent race — which was just yesterday — suggests she is in reasonable shape right now and is knocking on the door. The frustrating truth for her team is that she clearly knows how to race; she just hasn't been able to convert that into a win yet.
Samuel Drinkwater trains her out of Strensham in Worcestershire, a yard that has sent out eight winners already this season, so the operation clearly knows how to get a horse ready to win. Jessie Jump Jet has done all her racing at Class 5, which is the entry-level tier of British racing, and she has yet to win in four attempts at that level. That is not unusual for a horse who has taken time to develop, but at six years old the window for improvement is not unlimited. The yard will be looking at those back-to-back second places and hoping the pieces are finally coming together.
She has not won in any of her last six races, but "winless" and "out of form" are two very different things. A horse who finishes second twice running is not struggling — she is a horse in search of a small slice of luck, the right race, or perhaps just the right day. Whether that day comes soon is the question her team will be asking every time they saddle her up.
