Look Sport

Behind the horse is Paul Nolan, a trainer based in Enniscorthy, County Wexford, whose yard has been in fine form this season — 25 winners and counting. That kind of output tells you this is not a small, quiet operation hoping to stumble upon a result. Nolan sends horses out ready to run, and Look Sport's immediate success is very much in keeping with how the yard has been operating.

It is early days, of course. One race tells you a horse can win, but not yet how good it might become or what kind of company it can handle. What it does tell you is that Look Sport arrived at Kilbeggan in the kind of shape that gets the job done first time — and with a trainer in this sort of form, the next chapter should be worth watching.
