The recent form makes for mixed reading. Those back-to-back third-place finishes a little while ago hinted at something building, but the last four runs have brought finishes of 15th, 17th, 10th, and a blank — a slide in the wrong direction. Weston raced just one day ago, so this is a horse that is firmly in the middle of its season, not one being nursed back from a break. Whether yesterday's run brought any encouragement is a question only the yard will know the answer to for now.
H Rogers has had a decent season at Ardee, sending out 8 winners, which tells you this is a trainer who knows how to get a horse to the winner's enclosure. The fact that Weston has not been among those winners is not for lack of opportunity — 18 races is a generous amount of time to find the right moment. At seven years old, Weston is no youngster still learning the ropes, and the clock on a big career breakthrough is ticking. Still, horses like this have a habit of confounding expectations, and with Rogers in the corner and a trainer clearly capable of winning races, the door has not quite closed yet.
