What gives the picture some optimism is the yard behind the horse. Trainer Robson De Aguiar, based in Mullingar, County Westmeath, has sent out 16 winners already this season — a healthy total that suggests a yard in good form and capable of getting horses to perform. When a trainer is firing in winners at that rate, it means they know how to place their horses well and get them ready to run. Shi Yang raced just one day ago, so the yard — the team — will be digesting that latest effort and deciding what comes next.
At this stage, Shi Yang is very much a work in progress. Two-year-olds often take time to find their feet, and finishing fourth and fifth in early races is far from a disaster. The question is simply whether the penny drops soon.
