The colt will race from the yard of Richard and Peter Fahey at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, a partnership that has already sent out 23 winners this season, so they know how to get horses ready. But Takeaselfie is stepping onto the racecourse for the first time with no previous form to judge — which means everything comes down to how it performs in that debut race. For a debut runner, especially one with decent breeding, that first outing will tell you far more than any workout at home ever could. The yard will have a plan, but a two-year-old on their first day is always an unknown quantity, and that is where the real story begins.
