Tutty, whose yard has sent out 20 winners this season, has spoken openly about the fact that Soda went into her debut without much preparation behind her. She still managed to finish third at Catterick on that first run, behind a horse called Borjina — which, given the circumstances, suggests there is something genuinely there to work with. A horse that runs well on limited groundwork often improves sharply once it fills out physically and gets more racing under its belt. That is exactly the kind of development Tutty is banking on.
Soda ran just yesterday, so she is very much in the middle of her campaign. The next port of call is Ripon, and the hope from the yard is straightforward: that a horse who showed promise on debut, with proper preparation now behind her, can take that step forward. She has not won yet, but nothing in her record suggests she cannot. Sometimes a horse just needs the right day.
