Righthere Rightnow

Richard Spencer's Newmarket yard has given the horse consistent opportunities at distances between seven furlongs and a mile, the horse's apparent sweet spot — it has won 1 of its 6 races in that range, a win rate of roughly 1 in 6. Yet even at what should be its preferred trip, Righthere Rightnow has failed to capitalise. Most troubling is the horse's record in the better-class races: it has not won in three attempts at Class 2 level, suggesting it may be running out of its depth when facing stronger opposition. Saffie Osborne, who has ridden the horse five times, has yet to record a win in the saddle, though that small sample size makes little of it. Righthere Rightnow races on, and it was out just a day ago, but the gap since that lone Newmarket win is now a yawning one. For a horse with so little to show from 17 races, the path to another victory grows narrower with each outing.
