That said, placing in both outings is not nothing. Plenty of horses run twice and never get close to the front, so Royal Jewel has at least shown it belongs on a racecourse. The most recent run came just yesterday, a third-place finish, which means this horse is very much in the thick of its season right now.
The yard behind it is Philip Hobbs and Johnson White, based down in Bilbrook, Somerset, and they are having a productive season — 36 winners so far this term is a serious number and shows a team operating in good form. When a stable is firing like that, you would expect the horses on the fringes of winning, like Royal Jewel, to get their moment sooner rather than later.
