Shes Got The Blues

She has spent most of her time at Class 6, the entry-level tier of British racing, where the competition is as accessible as it gets. Going winless from six races at that level suggests she is yet to find the right conditions, the right day, or simply the right version of herself. She has had a short break of just over a month since her last run, which could be the yard giving her a quiet reset before trying again.

What keeps the door open is who is training her. Tony Carroll, based in Cropthorne in Worcestershire, has sent out 134 winners already this season — a remarkable total that marks him out as one of the most productive trainers in the country at this level. Carroll has a reputation for being patient with horses who take time to click, and the fact that he has kept Shes Got The Blues in work through ten races without a result suggests he still believes there is a race to be won somewhere. With a trainer finding winners at that rate, it would be unwise to give up on any horse in his care entirely.
