The Ginger Kid

The form picture is patchy. Over its last six races, The Ginger Kid has shown only glimpses of promise: a second place, two seconds, and a 21st, with that earlier win sandwiched in. What's encouraging is that when the horse has raced over distances between five and six and a half furlongs, it has won at a rate of one in every three races — that's a meaningful win rate at that trip. Ed Walker's yard at Upper Lambourn is in excellent form this season with 76 winners already, and the trainer clearly believes there is potential here worth developing. The challenge now is whether The Ginger Kid can rediscover that winning form and prove that June victory was the beginning of something, rather than an isolated bright spot.
