What keeps the picture from being entirely bleak is the yard behind it. David Marnane operates out of Bansha in County Tipperary, and this season the stable has sent out 21 winners — a healthy total that shows this is a team that knows how to get a horse ready to win. Marnane is not a trainer who fills out a racecard for the sake of it, so the fact that Lilbittyprettyone keeps getting its chance suggests there is something worth nurturing here, even if the racecourse has not seen it yet.
Having raced just yesterday, this is a horse very much in the thick of its season right now. At 3 years old, there is still time for things to click. Some horses take longer than others to work out what is being asked of them, and a yard with 21 winners on the board this term clearly has the firepower to help one along. Whether Lilbittyprettyone can eventually justify the faith being shown in it is the question — but for now, it remains one of racing's works in progress.
