Profit Street

Where Profit Street is struggling right now is in the present moment. It has not won in its last six races, with a recent pattern of 6th, 6th, 7th, 5th, 3rd, and 2nd place finishes that shows it is mixing decent efforts with genuinely poor days. The 2nd place finish was encouraging—there is still something there—but consistency is the problem. Trained by Joey Ramsden at Newark in Nottinghamshire, the horse is ridden most often by Alex Jary, though that partnership has yet to produce a winner across ten attempts together. The trainer's yard has sent out five winners this season, so there is no sense that Ramsden's operation is struggling, but Profit Street itself appears to be in a spell where the wins have dried up. At the Class 6 level—the lower tiers where most of its racing takes place—it has won 5 of 19 races (26%), which suggests it belongs at that grade. The challenge now is finding the right race and getting back to the winner's circle. With its last outing just a day ago, Ramsden will be working out what comes next for a horse that has beaten most of its rivals before but needs to rediscover that touch.
