That fourth-place finish is worth noting. It is not a win, but it suggests some improvement is coming, and she raced again just yesterday, which tells you the team believe there is more to come and are not afraid to keep her busy. Patience is often the name of the game with younger horses, and a yard that has already sent out 170 winners this season can afford to be methodical about it.
Those 170 winners are the real headline here. William Haggas runs one of the most productive operations in British racing right now, and a horse does not end up in that stable by accident. Getting placed in a Haggas yard means competing against some genuinely talented animals every morning in training. The fact that Shadida keeps getting entries and keeps running suggests those around her see something worth persisting with, even if it has not translated to a result yet.
