All Angels is two years old, which means this is effectively day one of a career that could go anywhere. Two-year-old races are often where the most exciting young talent first shows itself, and first-time runners can surprise everyone — including their own trainers.
The yard behind this horse carries real weight. Ed Walker operates out of Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, one of the most established training centres in the country, and has sent out 80 winners already this season. That is a serious number — it speaks to a well-run, well-stocked operation that knows how to get horses ready to perform. When a yard of that quality puts a debutant on the track, it is usually because they have seen enough at home to think the horse is ready. That is not nothing.
