The recent form shows no clear pattern of improvement. Over the last six races, Savant du Mesnil has finished seventh, seventh, fifth, sixth, and eighth, with one run too recent to record. That sequence suggests the horse is struggling to find its level or to perform consistently enough to trouble the frame. At six years old, Savant du Mesnil is mature enough that natural development is no longer an excuse; this is who the horse appears to be as a racer.
Woollacott's yard is doing well this season with 16 winners to its name, so the problem is unlikely to be the training. Sometimes a horse simply does not have what it takes to win races, and after seven attempts with nothing to show, it may be that Savant du Mesnil falls into that category. The fact that it keeps racing suggests the team believes there is still a chance—but the clock is ticking.
