Superstorm

The one clear clue to where Superstorm might find success is distance. Over 7 furlongs to a mile, the horse has won 1 of 8 races (12.5%) — a rate double the career average and the only ground where it consistently looks competitive. Everywhere else, the numbers flatten out. In higher-class races (Class 5 level), Superstorm has yet to win in 4 attempts. That August victory came at Brighton, a track that seems to suit the horse better than others.

Charlie Fellowes, the Newmarket trainer, has been getting winners out regularly this season with 21 to his name, but Superstorm remains a work in progress. Regular jockey Mikkel Mortensen has not yet found the winning formula aboard the horse after five rides together. With the horse still racing actively and having run just yesterday, there is time yet for it to rediscover the form that delivered that Brighton win. For now, though, it remains a horse still searching for its second victory and the consistency that would mark it as a genuine prospect.
