What gives those results some weight is who is doing the saddling. Hugo Palmer's yard in Malpas, Cheshire, has sent out 66 winners already this season — that is a serious operation with serious horses. When a trainer of that volume sends a young horse out twice in quick succession, finishing second each time, you can be fairly confident the team believes there is a win waiting to happen. Palmer's runners tend to show up ready to race, so a horse placed at both attempts is not just making up the numbers.
Lucky Camino raced just yesterday, which means it is bang in the middle of its season with presumably more to come. The record reads 0 from 2, but finishing second twice as a three-year-old, with a high-volume yard behind it, suggests the first win may not be far away.
