Crystal Kraken
Three races in, and Crystal Kraken is still waiting for that first win — but at two years old, there is plenty of time for the story to get interesting. The young horse has finished third, seventh, and ninth across its three outings so far, with the placed effort (that third) being the closest it has come to the winner's enclosure. A win rate of zero from three is not a cause for alarm at this stage; plenty of horses take time to figure out what racing is actually about, and two-year-olds in particular can improve dramatically as the season goes on.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What gives Crystal Kraken's the yard — sorry, what gives the team genuine reason for optimism is where the horse is based. Dylan Cunha operates out of Newmarket, the spiritual home of British flat racing, and the yard has been in fine form this season, sending out 45 winners. That is a healthy number by any measure, and it tells you this is not a struggling operation throwing horses at the wall. When a busy, productive yard keeps running a horse that has yet to win, it usually means they can see something worth persevering with. Crystal Kraken raced just one day ago, so it is very much in the thick of things right now.
The immediate priority is straightforward: convert one of those performances into a first victory. The third-place finish shows the ability is there in flashes — the horse has at least got competitive at some point. Whether that translates into a win depends on finding the right race at the right moment, which is exactly the kind of puzzle a Newmarket yard with 45 winners this season should be well equipped to solve.
