Three Non Blondes

The headline number is impressive: three wins from seven races overall, which works out to winning roughly 2 in every 5 races it runs in. That is a genuinely strong win rate for a three-year-old. The horse's last six runs tell an interesting story too. It won most recently, then was beaten into fifth, came back to win again, then finished third, seventh and first as it settled in. That's the kind of erratic pattern you see in young horses still figuring out racing — good days mixed with ordinary ones — but the wins are coming often enough to suggest real ability. The first career victory came at Chelmsford back in December, and the momentum has built since then.

Burton's Newmarket yard has sent out seven winners this season, which is a respectable tally. Three Non Blondes, with wins at two different tracks and clearly in form right now, is shaping up to be one of her better performers this year.
