The recent run of form makes for interesting reading. Before the Newton Abbot win, Jetty May had put together a sequence of poor finishes — well back in the field on consecutive occasions — so this victory represents a genuine step forward. Whether it is the track, the conditions, or simply a horse coming into her own at six, something clicked on Tuesday and that matters.
She is trained by Paul Nicholls at Ditcheat in Somerset, one of the most powerful yards in the country. With 92 winners sent out already this season, Nicholls operates at a scale that few can match — roughly one winner every few days — which means even a horse at the lower end of the string has serious professional support behind her. Jetty May has raced in Class 4 company three times without winning, so she has not yet cracked that level, but a first win on the board changes the conversation and gives the team something to build on.
At seven races into her career, Jetty May is still a work in progress. But she is trained by someone who knows how to place a horse to best effect, and a winner this week suggests there could be more to come.
