Miss Crinshawn

What is striking about Miss Crinshawn's form is the consistency of her placings without the breakthrough. Over her last six runs, she has finished in the money twice (a second and a fourth), with other efforts producing fourth and third places. This suggests she has the ability to get close, but something — whether fitness, luck, or the step up in class — is preventing her from converting these near-misses into a win. Peter Fahey's yard at Monasterevn has sent out 14 winners this season, so there is evidently quality training going on, but Miss Crinshawn remains one of the yard's projects still waiting for her moment. At four years old and without a win to her name, time is becoming a factor; horses that haven't won by this age often need very specific conditions to get their breakthrough, or they may never get there at all.
