Just For Monty

The horse is trained by Katie Scott at her yard in Galashiels in the Scottish Borders, a trainer who has been sending winners out at a steady clip this season with 17 victories so far. That kind of tally indicates a yard that knows how to prepare horses to win, which bodes well for Just For Monty's future prospects. At just two years old, there is plainly time for improvement, and the fact he is already getting into the frame in races shows he is not hopelessly outclassed. Plenty of racehorses take several attempts before their breakthrough win arrives, and the recent activity — he raced as recently as yesterday — suggests the yard is keen to get him racing regularly and building experience. Whether he develops into a regular winner or remains a consistent also-ran will become clearer as the season progresses.
