John and Thady Gosden operate out of Newmarket in Suffolk, and this season alone they've sent out 140 winners. That is a staggering number — it means horses leave that yard winning races almost every other day of the racing calendar. When a team with that kind of firepower keeps running a horse, it usually means they see something worth persevering with.
Ticker Tape's recent form reads 3-4-5-5 going back through her last four races, which tells a story of a horse who showed early promise — that third place — and has since found things getting harder, or the competition getting stiffer. She raced just yesterday, so she's very much in active campaign, and at three years old there is plenty of time for things to click. Some horses take a while to work out what racing is actually asking of them, and a yard with 140 winners this season knows better than most how to be patient with the ones that haven't quite arrived yet.
