The Anthony Gover

The recent form tells a story of mild inconsistency. Over its last six races, The Anthony Gover has shown it can finish in the money — a second place and a third place sit among four other efforts that range from fourth to tenth. It raced just yesterday, finishing sixth, which means it is an active horse and still being given chances by its yard. That matters: trainers don't keep running horses they have given up on, and Dr Newland and Jamie Insole's team have had 49 winners this season, so they know what they are doing. For a three-year-old still searching for victory, that kind of stable behind you is encouraging. The horse needs its opportunity to convert being competitive into actually winning, and at this age and stage, there is still time.
