Silk Mountain

Five races, no wins, no places — Silk Mountain has yet to give its supporters much to cheer about. The five-year-old has a record that reads 0 from 5, and recent finishes of 4th, 7th, 7th, 5th, and 4th tell a consistent story: competitive enough to avoid finishing last, but not quite finding the extra gear needed to trouble the leaders when it counts.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Auto-Generated

That said, Silk Mountain raced just yesterday, which means the team are clearly keeping faith and finding opportunities. Trained by the husband-and-wife partnership of Jim and Suzi Best, based in Lewes, East Sussex, the horse is in a yard that has sent out 13 winners already this season — so the training operation clearly knows how to get a horse to win. The question is when, or whether, Silk Mountain will be the one to add to that tally.

For now, it remains a horse that keeps showing up without quite delivering. Sometimes that changes; sometimes it doesn't. Either way, the yard hasn't given up on it yet.
