The recent form makes for grim reading: the last six runs have returned an 8th, 11th, 4th, 6th, 14th, and 6th, with that solitary fourth-place finish the only hint of competitiveness in the sequence. Jockey Liam McKenna has partnered the horse five times without getting his nose in front, which is a tough run for any partnership to sustain. The horse did race just yesterday, so it is clearly still active and still being given opportunities — a sign that trainer M A Molloy, based in Thurles, Co Tipperary, has not given up on finding another day like Clonmel.
Molloy's yard has sent out 4 winners this season, which shows the operation is capable of producing results. Whether Quint Major can add to that tally is another question. At 8 years old, with one win to its name and a recent run of form that has barely threatened the places, the honest assessment is that it needs something to click — the right race, the right ground, perhaps a return to Clonmel where the good memories live.
