Sometimes, and more so at these morning trials, you have to look beyond the winners to catch the next “winner”.

We have seen it happen before and we might have seen it at the two trials which were run off on March 19.

That morning, two horses who did not figure in the winning frame certainly caught the eye and, in the process, they drew attention to their winning chances in their next couple of races.

We are talking about Cavalry and Navy Seals.

Cavalry finished second behind Per Incrown in the opening hit-out while Navy Seals charged home to take third behind Cheerful Baby in the second and final heat.

Here is how it panned out for Cavalry.

Ridden by Jaden Lloyd and jumping from the innermost gate, Cavalry settled second from last in the four-horse affair.

There he stayed – seemingly unperturbed by the dirt being kicked back onto him by Per Incrown and Nimbus Cloud.

Striding out freely, it looked like he was enjoying the scenery and the crisp morning air.

That was until Lloyd spurred him into action at the top of the home straight.
