What is worth paying attention to, though, is who is doing the training. Gordon Elliott's yard in Longwood, Co Meath is one of the most powerful operations in Irish racing, and the numbers back that up in emphatic fashion: 209 winners already sent out this season. That is not a yard that sends horses out to make up the numbers. When Elliott saddles a horse, it tends to be because someone at Longwood genuinely believes it has ability.
Racing just one day ago, Nopresentliketime is as current as it gets. A fourth-place finish tells us the horse is running and competing, even if the winner's enclosure remains elusive so far. With only one race on the clock, a single decent run could reframe everything we think we know about this horse — and with Elliott pulling the strings, that run might not be far away.
