Eloquencia

What gives the profile some real interest is the yard behind her. Trainer James Owen, based at Newmarket — the heartland of British flat racing — has sent out 204 winners this season alone. That's a remarkable volume of success, and it tells you that horses from this stable are not being entered just to make up numbers. When Owen's team puts a horse on the track, they tend to know what they're doing.

Eloquencia hasn't converted her chances into a win yet, but finishing placed in both of her races suggests she's competitive. The step from placing to winning is often smaller than people think — sometimes it's a matter of finding the right race, the right day, or simply a run of luck going your way. With a trainer firing on all cylinders behind her, the expectation is that the win will come.
