Shes All Pride

Trained by Deborah Cole at her yard in Knowle, Warwickshire, Shes All Pride operates at Class 4 level — the fourth tier of British racing, a solid working-class grade where the competition is honest and consistent. She has run three times at that level without winning, which mirrors her overall record, but Cole's team have sent out four winners already this season, so the infrastructure for a breakthrough is clearly there.

The recent form figures — 4-5-8-3 across her last four completed runs — show a horse that tends to finish in the middle of the pack, with that third-place finish the obvious highlight. The 8th place is the one blip, but otherwise she has been solid if unspectacular. For a horse still without a win, the question is whether there is a race out there that suits her well enough to finally turn a place into a victory. Cole will know better than anyone what conditions and company give her the best chance of finding it.
