What is worth noting is the yard behind it. Trainer P J Rothwell, based in Tinahely, County Wicklow, has sent out 35 winners already this season — that is a busy, productive operation, and horses from a yard in that kind of form tend to be placed with some confidence in their ability to improve. Royal Order raced just one day ago, so it is very much a horse in active campaign, and presumably the team believe there is more to come.
For now, the honest summary is this: one race, no wins, no places, one forgettable result. But the season is young for this horse, and with a trainer firing on all cylinders, writing it off entirely would be premature.
