Vanilla Skies
Vanilla Skies has made an impressive start to racing life, winning 1 of its 3 races so far and placing in the other two — a win rate that suggests a genuinely useful horse at this stage of its career. The 3-year-old broke its duck at Newmarket on 25 June, and that victory five weeks ago remains its only win to date, though recent form has been solid: a second place, then another second, then a win at Newmarket. Still racing hard and active, Vanilla Skies was back in action just a day ago, which points to a horse enjoying its time on the track and being given regular opportunities by the yard.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
William Haggas, one of Britain's leading trainers, handles Vanilla Skies from his Newmarket base in Suffolk. Haggas has sent out 170 winners already this season, and he is known for bringing on young horses with patience and precision. The fact that Vanilla Skies has been entered so quickly after its last run suggests the trainer sees potential for more wins in the near term. For a 3-year-old just three races into its career, a win rate of 1 in 3 is the kind of record that gets people talking — it hints at a horse with real class, even if there is much more still to learn about how good it might become.
