The yard behind 00fancy is no ordinary operation. Aidan O'Brien's stable at Cashel in Co Tipperary has sent out 144 winners already this season — a number that reflects not just volume but consistent quality at the top end of the sport. O'Brien has trained more Classic winners and top-level champions than almost anyone in the history of the game, and when a well-bred two-year-old comes through that yard, it tends to arrive at the racecourse properly prepared.
What happens on debut is always something of an unknown. Even the most talented young horse is learning on the job its first time out — the noise, the crowd, the stalls, the other horses — and first-time results can flatter or mislead. But with the breeding and the team behind this one, 00fancy is well worth keeping an eye on as the season develops.
