On The Queue Tee

The horse is trained by J S Moore at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, one of the most famous racing villages in the country, where yards sit almost on top of one another on the Berkshire Downs. Moore's operation has been in decent nick this season, sending out 17 winners — a healthy total that tells you this is a yard that knows how to get horses ready to perform. A trainer in form is always worth paying attention to, because the whole environment — the gallops, the staff confidence, the timing of entries — tends to run better when things are clicking.

With just one race to go on, there is not much of a story to tell yet. But every horse with a long and interesting career started exactly here: one run, one placing, and a trainer quietly deciding what comes next. Worth keeping an eye on.
