What she does have going for her is the team behind her. Andrew Balding's yard at Kingsclere in Hampshire has been in outstanding form, having already sent out 204 winners this season alone — a number that puts them firmly among the most productive operations in the country. A stable firing at that kind of rate tends to mean that when a horse turns up for its first race, it has been well prepared. Balding's team do not tend to run young horses before they are ready.
Beyond that, there is simply nothing to go on yet. No times, no form, no rivals beaten or beaten by. The first race is always a step into the unknown for a two-year-old, and for anyone watching, that is part of what makes it worth seeing.
