Ridgemaster

Where Ridgemaster does show genuine promise is over distances between seven furlongs and a mile, where he has won 1 of his 4 races, a 25 per cent win rate that stands out sharply against his overall record. This is the key clue to how he might find another win. When stepped up in class to the top tier of races, however, his form collapses entirely: 0 wins from 4 attempts. He belongs in the lower grades, where races are tighter and the field is more vulnerable to a horse with even modest ability. The challenge is that after eight months out of the winners' enclosure, confidence will be the real enemy. But placed two, three times already this term alone, Ridgemaster keeps finding his way into the frame—he simply needs everything to click at the right track, over the right distance, at the right level.
