The partnership with jockey Paddy Bradley hasn't cracked the code either — 8 races together and no wins yet. That's not necessarily a damning verdict on either party, but it does suggest the combination hasn't yet found the right race or the right day. Simon Dow's yard at Epsom has been in decent enough shape this season, sending out 14 winners, so the platform is there — Majestic Wave just hasn't been able to take advantage of it.
There is one mildly encouraging detail buried in the record. Over shorter distances — between five and six-and-a-half furlongs — Majestic Wave has won 1 from 6, which works out at roughly 17%, or 1 in every 6 races. That's a meaningfully better return than the overall career figures suggest, hinting that a sharp, quick race on a decent surface might suit better than anything more stamina-reliant. The horse raced just yesterday, which tells you the team is keeping it busy and looking for answers.
At this stage of a career, a horse with one win and four places from 18 outings is doing enough to stay in training but not enough to make people sit up. The Navan win was real — it happened — but 21 months is a long time to go without building on it.
