Trained by Patrick Chamings at Baughurst in Hampshire, Vannessa is part of a yard that has had a respectable season, with nine winners sent out so far. The fact that Chamings has managed multiple winners this year suggests he knows how to get horses ready to win, which could work in Vannessa's favour as she continues to develop. With her most recent race just a day ago, she is clearly being campaigned regularly and given opportunities to find her feet — the mark of a trainer committed to getting a horse sorted.
At three years old, Vannessa is at an age when improvement and breakthrough moments are still entirely possible. Some horses take time to put it together, and a string of mid-field finishes is not a sign of hopelessness — it is the racing game playing out the way it often does for horses trying to climb the ladder. Whether Vannessa crosses the line first in her next few races remains to be seen, but she is being given the chance to do so.
