The Bookkeeper

The recent form paints a picture of a young horse starting to figure things out. After four months without a win, there are signs of promise: a third place three races ago, a fourth place before that, and most encouragingly, a sixth place just days ago that suggests the horse remains competitive and active. Trainer Richard Hughes, who runs a prolific yard out of Upper Lambourn in Berkshire that has sent out 60 winners this season alone, clearly believes there is more to come. The challenge now is stringing those placings together into another win, ideally back over the mile distance where The Bookkeeper has already proven capable of getting to the line first.
