The one bright spot in that sequence is a second place, and Tutty points to a recent fourth at Doncaster as evidence that Singoura is running better than her results suggest. The trainer, who operates out of Osmotherley in North Yorkshire and has sent out 20 winners already this season, has spoken candidly about the time it has taken to get the horse right — but says she is now back to where they want her. That is a significant thing for a trainer to say publicly, and it suggests there is genuine belief at the yard that a second win is closer than the form book might indicate.
Singoura competes at Class 5 level, the bread-and-butter tier of British racing, and has won 1 from 6 at that level — around 1 in 6 races. Joanna Mason rides her most often and shares that same record of 1 win from 6 races together, a 17% win rate that is actually not bad at this level if the right opportunity presents itself. Tutty has already declared Singoura for Redcar on Thursday, so the next chapter comes quickly.
The honest truth is that a horse with one win from 15 races needs things to fall right, but the ingredients are at least in place: a trainer in form, a jockey who knows her, and a yard that says she is finally herself again. Southwell gave her that first win. Redcar may be where she adds to it.
