Three Builders

What works in Three Builders' favour is the team behind it. Trained by the joint yard of William Muir and Chris Grassick, based in Lambourn — one of Britain's most famous racing villages — the horse is in experienced hands. The yard has sent out 21 winners already this season, which tells you this is an operation that knows how to get horses ready to win. The fact that Three Builders has not yet broken through is not necessarily a reflection on the stable's ability to place it right; some horses simply need more time, more races, or the right conditions to show what they can do.

Having raced just yesterday, Three Builders is clearly an active campaigner right now. The team has not put it away or given up on finding a race it can win. For a horse with its best finish still being a third, the next few outings will be telling — either the pieces start to come together, or the search for the right race continues a little longer.
