Managing Director

Trained by Geoff Oldroyd at Pocklington in North Yorkshire, Managing Director sits in a yard that has already sent out 13 winners this season and clearly believes the horse still has something to offer. The pattern of its racing suggests it finds Class 5 company more manageable — it has won one of three races at that level, a 33% win rate that stands out against its overall record of one win from eleven starts. That said, nearly two years have now passed since it last visited the winner's circle, and recent form offers little encouragement. A horse that was placed so regularly early on has become harder to back into the frame, suggesting it may be heading towards the end of its useful racing life. Still, at only 4 years old and with an active trainer keen to keep it racing, there may yet be another opportunity waiting somewhere.
