Zooter

The recent form makes for interesting reading. After finishing a distant ninth on one occasion, Zooter has since rattled off three consecutive fourth-place finishes before stepping up to second last time out. That is a horse moving in the right direction, even if it has not yet managed to get its nose in front. Racing just yesterday, it is clearly fit and being kept busy by the yard.

That yard is trained by Jack Jones, operating out of Newmarket — the heartland of British flat racing, a town where the sport is practically the local religion. Jones has sent out 35 winners so far this season, which tells you this is a competent, active operation with no shortage of horses capable of winning races. Zooter has not been one of them yet, but being trained at a yard with that kind of firepower at least suggests the horse is in the right hands to find its moment.
