Minkaas

Since that breakthrough, the horse has been out twice more and finished third both times, which is exactly the sort of honest, consistent form you want to see in a young animal still learning the game. Winning once and placing in three from three races gives Minkaas a 33 per cent win rate — roughly one victory in every three starts. At this early stage of a racing career, that is genuinely solid form, especially at a top track like Newmarket where the competition is sharp. The horse remains active and ready to race again, which suggests Kent sees no reason to interrupt progress. With the yard having already sent out 12 winners this season, Minkaas looks well placed to add to that tally and develop into something special.
