The recent form is worth a closer look. In the last six races, Reposado has posted two second-place finishes, which suggests there is genuine ability here. The frustrating part, for anyone following the horse, is that it keeps getting close without quite sealing the deal. Whether that changes is the real question.
David Egan has been the regular rider, partnering Reposado in 7 of those 18 races without a win between them. That is a long collaboration without a breakthrough, though the two placed runs in recent outings at least suggest the partnership is finding some rhythm. Reposado ran just yesterday, so it is a horse very much in the thick of its season right now.
The trainer is Robson De Aguiar, operating out of Mullingar in Westmeath, and the yard has sent out 16 winners this season — so this is not an outfit that struggles to win races. That makes Reposado something of an outlier in the stable, a horse whose ability to place consistently has not yet translated into a victory. Sometimes a horse like this finds a race that suits perfectly and breaks through; sometimes the places are simply where it belongs. Reposado has not yet answered that question.
