What is worth paying attention to is who has the horse. Michael Bell's yard in Newmarket has sent out 45 winners this season alone, which puts it firmly among the busier and more successful operations in British racing. Newmarket is the heartland of the sport in this country — the place where serious horses are trained seriously — and Bell is no newcomer to getting young horses ready to run. A fifth-place finish on debut for a 2-year-old from a yard of that quality is hardly a disaster. Most young horses are learning what racing even is the first time they do it.
The name to watch for now is what happens next. Sweet Devastation is still active and clearly fit, and with a full season ahead, yesterday's result tells us very little about where this horse might end up.
