Rory's Gold

Trained by Simon Waugh, Rory's Gold represents a horse still searching for its first win at a level where many of its rivals have already found theirs. The trainer's yard has sent out just one winner this season, suggesting this is a small operation with limited firepower. For a horse now in its fifth year of racing life, the absence of a winner remains the pressing question — whether Rory's Gold simply lacks the ability to compete at even this modest level, or whether a change of fortune might yet arrive. With races still being entered regularly, the horse remains in training and in the mix, though the evidence so far points to a horse that may need to drop further down the ladder if a breakthrough is to come.
