The recent form figures tell their own story: 15th, 8th, 7th, 7th, 9th, 17th. There is a flicker of improvement buried in there — back-to-back 7th-place finishes suggest the horse was at least running more consistently for a spell — but the most recent result, a 15th, drags things in the wrong direction again. Notmiwadi raced just yesterday, so this is very much a live campaign, whatever it looks like on paper.
The trainer, John C McConnell, operates out of Stamullen in County Meath and has had 36 winners on the board this season, which tells you the yard knows how to get a horse to the winner's enclosure. The puzzle, then, is why Notmiwadi has not managed it yet. Sometimes a horse takes time to figure things out. Sometimes it finds its spot eventually. For now, Notmiwadi remains one for the watching brief rather than the betting slip.
