Action Reaction

The one genuinely interesting thread here is the trainer. George Boughey operates out of Newmarket, the spiritual home of British flat racing, and his yard has sent out 105 winners this season alone. That is a serious number — it puts Boughey among the busiest and most productive trainers in the country right now. When a horse is trained by someone operating at that level, it at least suggests the opportunity is there. The question is whether Action Reaction can take it.

With a run just yesterday, the horse is clearly fit and in an active campaign. Whether something clicks in the next outing — a different track, different conditions, a race that suits better — remains to be seen. Right now, Action Reaction is a work in progress, and the scoreboard is blank.
