Ryefield

Lawrence Mullaney's yard at Newark hasn't set the world alight this season, with just two winners sent out so far, and Ryefield hasn't been among them. When the horse steps up to Class 5 races—the middle tier of competitive racing—the record flattens to four races, no wins. That's a tough statistic, but at three years old, Ryefield still has time to mature and find its level. Some horses are late bloomers, and a consistent run of races, even without victory, suggests the trainer believes there's something worth pursuing here. Whether that comes to fruition is another matter entirely.
