Top Cote

Trained by Jack Morland at Newmarket, Top Cote is part of a yard that has had a solid season with 14 winners to its name. For a young horse early in its racing career, experience matters more than results, and the steady flow of races suggests the trainer is building the horse's fitness and racecraft at a sensible pace. The recent drop in form might simply reflect the tough reality of racing two-year-olds: some days the competition is stronger, or the horse is not quite at its best. Whether Top Cote can break through and record a first win will become clearer as it gains more racing miles and matures.
