Mind Those Steps
Mind Those Steps is a two-year-old still finding its feet on the track, with just one win from seven races so far. That victory came at Hamilton Park back in May, a bright spot in a career that has otherwise seen the horse finish in the places—third or second—on three other occasions. The recent form tells the story of a young horse still learning: a win, then a run of mixed results across the last six outings, including a couple of modest finishes further back. With a win rate of roughly 1 in 7 races, the horse has shown enough promise to suggest it belongs on the track, but it is not yet the finished article.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Mind Those Steps is trained by Tim Easterby, whose Great Habton yard in North Yorkshire has sent out 128 winners already this season—a testament to his eye for getting the best from his horses. For a young horse working with an experienced handler in a busy, successful yard, the ingredients are there for improvement. The fact that the horse has already returned to the track just a day ago shows the yard is keeping it active and race-ready, which matters for a two-year-old still building experience. With nearly six months since that May victory, the next win may not be far away if the horse can carry its best form into the second half of the season.
