Trained by Thomas Dowling out of Baltinglass in County Wicklow, the horse has been kept busy, racing as recently as yesterday. But busy hasn't meant productive. The recent run of form reads 9, 9, 6, 12, 4, 5 going back through the last six races — those are finishing positions, and with the exception of that fourth and fifth place, the horse has mostly been making up the numbers well off the pace. Dowling's yard has managed just one winner this season in total, so this is clearly a small operation that will take quiet satisfaction from small improvements rather than chasing big prizes.
The one thing worth watching is that the form has a slight upward tick most recently — fifth last time out is the best finish on record, and fourth the time before that. It's a low bar, but in racing, momentum matters. Whether Music And Song can convert that into an actual win remains to be seen, but at three years old there is at least time on its side.
