Whether that changes soon is the obvious question, because Storming Point has clearly shown enough ability to suggest a win is coming. Finishing in the top three in all four races is not bad luck — it is a horse that belongs at a competitive level and is running to a reliable standard. The frustrating part, from anyone rooting for it, is that the margins are presumably small. This is not a horse getting lapped; it is a horse getting beaten by a nose or a length while doing almost everything right.
The team behind Storming Point is Gary and Josh Moore, a father-and-son training operation based in Lower Beeding in West Sussex. They are having a serious season — 99 winners already, which is the kind of number that puts you firmly among the busier, more successful yards in British racing. A stable that productive tends to know what it is doing with a horse like this, and the fact that Storming Point is still running, having raced just one day ago, suggests they are not short of confidence that the breakthrough is close. When a yard is firing in winners at that rate, patience with a talented but winless horse tends to be well-founded.
The next run will be one to watch. Four places from four races at three years old tells you this is a horse with real quality — it just needs everything to fall right on the day. In racing
