Navajo Point

To be fair to the four-year-old, it raced just yesterday, so it is very much a horse still in the process of finding its feet. Trained by Martin Hassett out of Burnchurch in County Tipperary — a yard that has sent out 10 winners already this season, so the operation clearly knows how to get a horse ready to win — Navajo Point simply hasn't found the right opportunity yet. The 15th-place finish buried in that recent form is the kind of result that raises questions, but horses can have bad days just like anyone else, and the fact that Hassett keeps running it suggests the team still believes there is a performance worth waiting for.

Whether that performance comes soon is the question. With 0 wins from 7 races, Navajo Point has work to do just to get off the mark — but it is young, it is active, and it is in a yard capable of producing winners. Sometimes that is all you need.
