The last six races tell a mixed story. After that encouraging second-place finish yesterday, Tradittion had struggled for consistency, finishing eighth, second again, fourth, sixth, and seventh in the races before that. It is the kind of up-and-down form you might expect from a young horse still learning the ropes, though the two top-three finishes hint that when conditions suit, there is enough ability there to be competitive.
Tradittion is trained by Tim Easterby at Great Habton in North Yorkshire, a yard that has already sent out 128 winners this season — a sign of a competent operation with plenty of ammunition. For a two-year-old still without a win, there is time yet. At this age, the priority is often experience and development rather than immediate success, and two top-three finishes from six races is not a bad foundation to build on.
