What gives the profile its real weight is the yard behind it. Aidan P O'Brien's operation in Cashel, County Tipperary, is one of the most powerful training outfits in the world, and this season alone it has produced 138 winners — a volume that reflects extraordinary depth and organisation. Horses don't reach that yard by accident, and staying there means you are meeting a standard every day. The fact that Neolithic has been winning races in that environment, rather than simply filling fields, says something about its ability.
The horse raced just one day ago, which means it is right in the thick of an active campaign. With the Gowran Park win now two months behind it and a recent run on the board, the team will have a clear picture of where this horse is heading next. At three years old, with a win rate like this and a trainer who knows exactly how to place a young horse to best effect, Neolithic looks like one worth keeping an eye on through the summer.
