Ricky's Rocket
Two races in, and Ricky's Rocket is still waiting to light the fuse. The two-year-old has finished fifth and eighth in its only two outings so far, without troubling the places on either occasion. That's a modest start, but it's worth remembering that two races is a very small sample — plenty of horses take time to find their feet before clicking into gear.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What gives the yard genuine cause for optimism is who is doing the training. Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole, based at Elmbridge in Worcestershire, have sent out 49 winners already this season — a serious tally that marks them out as one of the more productive operations around. When a yard is firing at that rate, even a horse that hasn't found the scoresheet yet is worth keeping an eye on. Good trainers tend to know when a horse is learning rather than simply not good enough, and Ricky's Rocket raced just yesterday, meaning the team clearly still believes there is more to come.
At this stage, Ricky's Rocket is a work in progress rather than a finished article — but with a live yard behind it and a career barely started, writing it off after two runs would be very premature indeed.
