Muvable

What keeps the profile interesting is who has the horse in their care. Tim Easterby's yard at Great Habton in North Yorkshire is one of the most productive operations in the country right now — 138 winners already this season is a remarkable output, and it tells you this is a trainer who knows how to get horses winning. Easterby is not a man who struggles to place horses in the right races, which makes Muvable's persistent anonymity something of a puzzle. The talent around it in that yard makes you wonder whether improvement is simply a matter of time, or whether finding the right opportunity is the challenge.

Muvable raced just yesterday, so whatever comes next is close. For a horse with nothing in the record book yet, the only direction is up — but it will need to find a good deal more than it has shown so far to justify the patience of a yard busy winning races with everything else it sends out.
