The form figures tell a straightforward story: a fifth, a blank (likely a pulled-up or unseated run in the middle), and a sixth. None of those suggest a horse on the verge of a breakthrough, but three races is still a small sample — plenty of horses take time to find their feet, and Martin Brassil's yard has clearly not given up on it.
Brassil trains out of Dunmurray in County Kildare, one of the heartlands of Irish racing, and his operation has sent out 10 winners already this season — a healthy return that suggests a yard in decent form. If anyone can find the right opportunity to get Thiscouldbetheone off the mark, a trainer sending out winners at that rate has at least shown he knows how to place a horse. The 79-day break since its last run could mean the team has been patient, waiting for the right conditions or letting the horse strengthen up. Whether it returns a different proposition remains to be seen.
For now, the name remains more aspiration than statement of fact. But that's racing — and someone in Kildare clearly still believes.
