The recent form reads 8-2-3 going back through the last three runs, and that tells an interesting story. The most recent outing was a third-place finish, the one before that a runner-up, and before that an eighth. In other words, Now Maybe appears to be improving with each run — the opposite of a horse that burst onto the scene and then faded. That progression from the back of the field to the podium is exactly what a trainer hopes to see in a young horse still learning the game.
The yard behind this horse is worth noting. Mrs John Harrington has sent out 51 winners already this season from her Kildare base — a genuinely productive operation, not the sort of small string where a horse might wait months between serious opportunities. When a stable of that output keeps running a horse, it usually means they believe there is something worth developing. Now Maybe raced just yesterday, so whatever conclusions the team drew from that effort, they are fresh ones.
No wins yet, no prize money worth shouting about — but three races is a short audition for any young horse, and the upward trend in form is the kind of thing that keeps the yard hopeful. The first win, when it comes, may not be far away.
