Whatever raw material the breeding suggests, the real talking point is who has the horse in training. George Boughey's yard at Newmarket has sent out 99 winners already this season, which is a remarkable number — it puts the operation firmly among the most productive in British racing right now. A stable pumping out winners at that rate tends to know how to place a horse well and bring it to the racecourse ready to perform. When a first-time runner comes out of a yard in that kind of form, it is worth paying attention. Today, Hozam finally gets the chance to show whether the promise in the bloodlines translates into something worth getting excited about on the track.
