What is worth noting is the context around this horse. Meade's operation has sent out 42 winners already this season, which tells you this is a yard that knows how to get horses winning. The fact that Take Me has not yet joined that list is not a reflection of the team — it may simply be a horse still finding its feet, or one that needs exactly the right conditions to click.
The recent form figures — 7, a pulled-up or non-completion run, 10, 4, 5, 5 — paint a picture of a horse that has been competitive in places without ever quite getting there. That fourth-place finish is the closest it has come, and there are signs buried in those numbers that Take Me is not entirely without merit. It raced just one day ago, so it is clearly being kept active, which suggests the team still believes there is a performance in this horse worth waiting for.
Whether that performance arrives soon is anyone's guess. But with 42 winners already flowing from the same yard this season, Take Me is at least in the right hands for when things do eventually fall into place.
