Pinatubo's Legacy

Trained by T J Kent at Newmarket, the horse is part of a stable that has sent out 12 winners this season. What stands out most is the gap between that Newcastle victory and recent form — the horse hasn't won in the ten months since, though it was out just a day ago and remains actively campaigned. The last five races tell the story of a horse treading water: two places mixed in with three blanks, none of them close enough to suggest a win is imminent. The most recent outing produced a 16th-place finish, which is heavy going. Before that there were a couple of better efforts — a 3rd and a 5th — but nothing that points to a horse about to break through again. For a horse that has already shown it can cross the line first, this stretch of form will be testing the patience of everyone involved. Whether Pinatubo's Legacy can find another winner before the season shifts again remains to be seen.
