Sugar Sugar

Jack Channon's West Ilsley yard is in flying form this season with 46 winners already, and Sugar Sugar fits the profile of a horse learning her trade in the right place. Her most recent four races tell an encouraging story: a win, then a second place, then third, then a ninth just a day ago. That ninth is worth noting — it suggests she may have found a race or distance that didn't suit, or perhaps she was simply unlucky. What matters is that she had proven she could beat horses before that run, and she is still actively racing. At just three years old with a win already in the bag, she has time to develop and find her level. Whether she becomes a regular winner or settles as a horse who picks up places will depend on what races the yard targets her for next, but the early signs are that Channon has something with genuine ability.
