What makes this worth watching is the timing. Working Class Hero raced just yesterday, so it is very much in the middle of its story right now. Trained by Thomas Gibney out of Trim in County Meath, it sits in a yard that has sent out 5 winners already this season — a team that clearly knows how to get a horse ready to perform. Gibney's operation is a smaller yard rather than a powerhouse stable, which means each winner genuinely matters, and you would expect them to be placing this horse carefully to give it every chance of getting off the mark.
The big question hovering over Working Class Hero is simple: can it turn a place into a win? Two races is a very small sample, and there is nothing in this record to suggest it cannot. Plenty of horses take a run or two to find their feet before winning. With a yard in decent form and a horse that has shown it belongs at the track, the next run will be the one to watch.
