Midnight Steppers
Five races, five finishes in the bottom half of the field — Midnight Steppers has not given its supporters much to shout about so far. The three-year-old has yet to win or even finish in the places across its entire career, and recent form figures of 10-8-11-11-11 tell a pretty blunt story: this is a horse that has been racing regularly and finishing towards the rear each time. It raced just yesterday, so it is very much in the thick of its campaign right now.Based on TrackLab's analysis

That said, the surroundings are encouraging. Midnight Steppers is trained by Ed Dunlop at Newmarket, one of the most famous training centres in the world, and Dunlop's yard has sent out 39 winners already this season — a clear sign that the horses coming out of that stable are capable of winning races. When a yard is in that kind of form, it suggests the problem is not the training environment. Midnight Steppers simply hasn't found its moment yet.
Three-year-olds can take time to figure things out. Some horses of this age are still developing physically and mentally, and it is not unheard of for a horse to look moderate early in the season before suddenly clicking into gear. Whether Midnight Steppers is one of those cases remains to be seen. For now, it is a horse whose record demands patience from anyone following it — but with a trainer firing on all cylinders, there is at least a reasonable yard behind it waiting for things to turn around.
