The recent form makes for interesting reading. Over the last six races, Wearing Stars has finished fourth, second, off the board, fourth, third, and third — so a pattern of consistency with flickers of real promise. That second-place finish stands out as the closest it has come to breaking the duck, and with a horse this young, there is every reason to think a win is within reach rather than a distant hope.
What works in Wearing Stars' favour is the yard it comes from. Henry De Bromhead operates out of Knockeen in Co Waterford and has sent out 115 winners already this season — that is a remarkable volume of success, and it tells you this is not a team that runs horses for the sake of it. When De Bromhead points a horse at a race, it tends to have a genuine chance, and the fact that Wearing Stars keeps getting entries and keeps running in the places suggests the team sees more to come. Having raced just yesterday, this is clearly a horse being kept busy and in good form, which is usually a sign that the trainer likes what he sees at home.
At three years old and still searching for a first win, Wearing Stars is at a stage where things can click surprisingly quickly. Eight races is enough to know this horse belongs on a racecourse — it just needs one day where everything lines up.
