The numbers bear this out. In Class 4 races, where Linden Lane competes most of the time, the record is particularly stark: six attempts, no victories. Over the last six outings, the horse has placed twice (a pair of fifth-place finishes) but otherwise scattered around the middle order — a fourth, a third, and two more fifths. That third-place finish, just one day ago, is the brightest spot in recent form, though it offers scant encouragement of a turnaround.
Mrs C Williams, training from Llancarfan in the Vale of Glamorgan, has saddled Linden Lane through this entire stretch. Her yard has sent out three winners this season, so the training operation is capable of getting horses home in front. Whether Linden Lane possesses the finishing speed to join that winning column remains an open question. For now, the horse remains active but unbroken, a capable if ultimately frustrating fixture on the racecourse.
