American Psycho

Trained by Archie Watson at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, American Psycho is part of a yard in excellent form. Watson has sent out 62 winners this season alone, which puts him among the sharper operations in training. That kind of win rate suggests the horse is learning from experienced hands. The pattern of recent form — a second, a fourth, then another second last time — hints at a horse that runs fairly consistently without quite having found the final thrust needed to break through into the winner's column. For a 2-year-old still wet behind the ears, that's not unusual. The real test will be whether a win comes sooner rather than later, and whether Watson can spot the right opportunity to get it done.
