Quantum Power

The key to Quantum Power's success is simple: give it fast, dry ground. The horse has won three of four races on those conditions — a 75 per cent win rate that stands out sharply from its overall record. When the track is firm underfoot, Quantum Power thrives. Take away the drying ground, and the results drop off noticeably. That is the sort of detail that matters when a trainer like Tom Clover, based at Newmarket, is plotting future races. Clover has sent out 23 winners already this season, and Quantum Power has become one of his more reliable performers.

At Newmarket itself, Quantum Power is a genuine specialist. It has won two of three races at the track, which is the kind of record you build through understanding a particular course. The horse clearly enjoys the Newmarket surface and layout. So far, Quantum Power has competed mostly at Class 5 level — the lower reaches of British racing — where it has won once in three attempts. Whether it has the class to step up remains to be seen, but for now, it is a horse worth following on fast ground at Newmarket and similar tracks. It raced just yesterday, which means it is actively in work and could run again soon.
