What's worth watching, though, is the direction of travel. Read those recent results in chronological order — ninth, then twelfth, then fifth — and you can see a horse that went backwards before finding something. That latest fifth-place finish is at least a step towards relevance, even if it is not yet a threat to the horses in front of it.
Luckie Lucas runs out of Christopher Mason's yard, a trainer who has sent out 12 winners already this season, so there is clearly ability in the stable. The fact that this particular horse is still searching for its moment doesn't reflect on the team around it. Mason has winners on the board — just not with this one yet. Racing only yesterday, Luckie Lucas is clearly still being campaigned actively, which suggests the yard believes there is something worth persisting with. At some point, a horse either finds its level or it finds a race it can win. Luckie Lucas is still looking for both.
