Slight Of Foot

Trained by R P Cody at Dunnamaggin in Kilkenny, the horse is part of a yard that has found the winner's circle six times already this season. That's encouraging context — Cody clearly knows how to get horses to perform — but Slight Of Foot hasn't been the beneficiary yet. The fact that it raced just a day ago and has not broken through in its last six attempts suggests the trainer is keeping it active and looking for the right opportunity, rather than setting it aside. At three years old, there is still time for improvement, but the blank on the wins column after eight races means patience, not panic, will be needed to see whether this horse has a future as a competitive racer or whether it will remain a maiden forever.
