That said, the most recent form figure is a second-place finish, which at least suggests Receipt is capable of running competitively. Most of the horse's experience has come at Class 5 level — the entry point of British racing, where horses are finding their feet — and even there, the record reads zero wins from three races. Whether that second place came at this level or elsewhere, it represents the best result on the card so far.
T Ellis has had a productive season, sending out 25 winners from the Rugby base, which shows the yard knows how to get a horse ready to win. Receipt hasn't delivered yet, but having raced just four days ago, this is clearly a horse being kept busy and given every opportunity. Sometimes it just takes a little longer for things to click — and with an active trainer and a recent placed effort to build on, the first win remains possible.
