God Of Power

Trained by Andrew Slattery out of Thurles in County Tipperary, God Of Power is part of a yard that has been in serious form this season, sending out 60 winners — a remarkable output that tells you this is not a small or quiet operation. When a trainer is firing in winners at that rate, it tends to mean the horses are well-managed, well-prepared, and arriving at their races ready to run. God Of Power's recent win fits that picture perfectly.

The form figures of 1-9-4 across three races show a horse that has been running consistently without always threatening at the top end, but the Limerick win snaps that into focus. Finishing first just yesterday means God Of Power is as current as it gets, and with a win rate of 1 in every 3 races so early in its career, there is every reason to think it is still finding its feet and improving. Three-year-olds often take time to develop their best form across a season, and a horse that can already point to a win and a placed finish from just three outings has shown more than many at this age.
