Flagbearer is a three-year-old still finding its feet on the track. It has raced twice without a win, though it did finish second in its most recent outing just a day ago — a result that suggests the horse is capable of running competitively. Before that, it finished fourth, so the form line shows a slight improvement. The horse is trained by
William Haggas at his Newmarket yard, one of the most successful operations in Britain, with 170 winners sent out this season alone. Haggas is known for patience with younger horses, and the fact that Flagbearer is still racing regularly suggests the trainer believes there is more to come from it.
