Guadalevin is a two-year-old by State Of Rest, a sire who has made a strong early impression getting winners, and is out of a mare by Motivator, a horse who won the Epsom Derby back in 2005. Breeding is never a guarantee of anything, but the combination suggests a horse built to improve with time and distance rather than one who needs to explode out of the gates on day one.
The trainer is Charlie Fellowes, who operates out of Newmarket — the spiritual home of British flat racing, where the competition among yards is about as fierce as it gets. Fellowes has sent out 20 winners already this season, which tells you this is a yard in form and not one that runs horses just to give them a day out. When a yard like this declares a first-time runner, it is worth paying attention.
