Wise And Wonderful

What is interesting is that Wise And Wonderful has been busy. Those recent five runs show the horse has run twice in the last week, which suggests the trainer thinks there is an opportunity to strike again soon. The most recent outing, just a day ago, was a second-place finish — close enough to suggest the horse might be building towards another win rather than drifting backwards. That last victory at Epsom six weeks ago is now the longest gap between races, which is typical for a 2-year-old still finding its feet in the sport.

Andrew Balding's Kingsclere yard is one of the most successful in Britain, having already sent out 202 winners this season, so Wise And Wonderful is in capable hands. Whether this young horse will develop into something more substantial remains to be seen, but the pattern of racing frequently and placing regularly suggests the trainer is confident enough to keep running it. For now, it is one to keep an eye on the next time it goes to post.
