Nonsense made its racing debut just a day ago and finished second, which for a two-year-old is a promising start. The horse was beaten but stayed the course and earned a place, suggesting it has the temperament and ability to go again.
John S O'Donoghue's yard at Curragh, Co Kildare has been in good form this season with seven winners already, so Nonsense is in experienced hands. At this early stage, a debut second is nothing to worry about — many of the best horses don't win first time out. The real test will come over the next few races, when the yard will get a clearer sense of what this horse is capable of and where it might fit in.
