The recent form makes for interesting reading. In her last six races, she has finished second four times, fifth once, and seventh once. Four runner-up finishes in six outings is not the record of a horse that is struggling — it is the record of a horse that is frustratingly consistent just below the winning mark. At Class 4, the level she typically races at, that pattern holds: 0 wins from 6 races, but clearly no disgrace in any of them.
She raced just yesterday, which means she is very much in the middle of an active campaign. Her trainer, Mickey Bowen, operates out of Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire and has had a productive season — 46 winners sent out, which is a serious body of work for any yard. That suggests Mighty Fleur is in capable hands, and the team clearly believes there is a win in her somewhere, given how regularly she is being asked the question.
The puzzle with a horse like this is whether the breakthrough ever comes. Finishing second is admirable, but at some point the story either changes or it doesn't. Four second places in her last six races suggests the talent is there — the gap between her and the winners has not been wide. For anyone watching her next run, that is precisely what makes her worth following.
