Rogue Allegiance
Rogue Allegiance is a horse that
James Owen's Newmarket yard clearly believes has more to offer. The 4-year-old won his first race at Newcastle last December with such an impressive display that Owen remembers it vividly—the horse "couldn't have done it any better," the trainer said. But since that debut victory, Rogue Allegiance has been something of a puzzle. He has won just twice more from 13 subsequent races, giving him a win rate of roughly 1 in every 5 starts overall. That recent victory at Kempton Park this week suggests he is still capable of finding the winner's enclosure, and his form sheet reads promisingly: he has picked up two wins and several places in his last six outings, including three second-place finishes that hint at a horse running well but not quite finishing the job.

The frustration seems to stem from how Rogue Allegiance races. Owen explained that when the horse was stepped up to top-level competition in the Greenham—one of the highest-class races in the calendar—he was "just too keen early on," burning energy trying too hard from the bell rather than settling into a rhythm. This is a common problem with talented horses that need guidance. The trainer has a clear plan: drop back to six furlongs and give the horse time to mature. Owen is impressed by Rogue Allegiance's physical frame and his work at home has been very good, so Owen believes there is unfinished business here. At Class 4 level, where Rogue Allegiance has won 1 of 5 races, he has proven he belongs, and with a yard sending out 205 winners this season, there is every reason to think Owen knows how to get the best out of him.
