Mullins, based at Bagenalstown in County Carlow, has sent out 31 winners this season, which tells you this is an active, functioning yard that knows how to get horses to win. The fact that Try Them hasn't managed to break through yet is not through lack of opportunity — six races is a fair sample — but the recent form makes for tough reading. A second place a few runs back offered a glimpse of potential, but finishes of fifth, fifth, and tenth since then suggest the horse is finding the right level hard to pin down.
What is worth noting is that Try Them raced just one day ago, meaning this is a horse very much in the thick of its season right now. Whether that recent run showed enough to encourage the team at Bagenalstown to keep pressing forward, or whether a change of approach is needed, only they will know. For now, Try Them remains a horse searching for a first win — the kind that every yard has a few of, and that the yard never quite give up on until something finally goes right.
