The recent form makes for mixed reading. A fifth and an eighth suggest a horse that is running respectably without threatening the winner, while that pull-up — the dash in the form line, meaning the horse was withdrawn from the race before finishing — raises questions that only time and more racing will answer. It raced just yesterday, so whatever answers are coming, they are not far away.
Where Mountain Memory does have a serious argument in its favour is the yard it comes from. Trainer Andrew Slattery, based in Thurles, County Tipperary, has sent out 62 winners already this season — a total that puts him firmly among the more productive operations in Irish racing right now. A trainer firing at that volume tends to know which horses are ready to run and which ones are still learning the ropes. The fact that Mountain Memory keeps being aimed at races suggests Slattery sees something worth persevering with, even if the results have not yet reflected it.
At 3 years old, there is plenty of time. Some horses simply take longer to put it all together, and with a yard this active behind it, Mountain Memory will get every chance to prove that the best is still ahead.
