Sunly is trained in France by F-H Graffard, a yard that has already sent out six winners this season — a useful indicator that the operation is in decent form. When a stable is winning races, it usually means the horses are healthy, the team is confident, and the horses they run are ready to run. That context matters for a debut runner, because trainers tend to be choosy about when and where they introduce a young horse for the first time. Today is the first chapter, and there is genuinely no telling how it reads until the race is run.
