Lady McC

Her recent form tells a frustrating story: a string of mid-field finishes ranging from fifth place down to thirteenth, with no sign of improvement over her last six runs. Steele's yard has saddled four winners this season, so the stable is capable of getting horses into the winners' circle, but Lady McC has not been one of them. At this stage of her racing life, with no victories to her name from seven attempts, she faces a straightforward question: whether she can find a race suited to her ability, or whether she has simply plateaued at a level where wins do not come. The fact that she was sent out again so recently suggests her trainer still sees something worth pursuing, even if the results have not yet justified the continued investment.
