What matters more is the stable. Ralph Beckett's yard at Kimpton in Hampshire has already sent out 107 winners this season, which speaks to the quality of horseflesh passing through and the trainer's eye for a prospect. Beckett doesn't need to run horses that aren't ready; he has the luxury of picking his spots carefully. The fact that Ellavara is being sent to the track now is a signal that someone in that yard believes she has something worth showing, though as with all debut runners, you won't know anything for certain until the gates open and she runs.
