Trained by Paul Nolan out of Enniscorthy in County Wexford, Nicky Larson is at least in capable hands. Nolan's yard has sent out 22 winners already this season, which shows this is an operation that knows how to get horses ready to win. That makes the wait for Nicky Larson's breakthrough all the more watchable — the talent around it is clearly there.
The recent form figures make for honest reading: a ninth, then a fifth, then a seventh, and most recently a second place. That last result is the most encouraging, suggesting something might finally be clicking. A second-place finish shows the horse is competitive — it just hasn't been able to get its nose in front when it matters. Raced just one day ago, Nicky Larson is as active as it gets, and with form trending in the right direction, the first win could be closer than the bare record suggests.
