The father is Too Darn Hot, a horse who was one of the best two-year-olds in Europe during his own racing days and has made a promising start as a sire. The mother comes from the New Approach line, another serious pedigree that has produced quick, tough horses. On paper, that is a combination pointing towards a horse built to run fast — though breeding is a hint, not a promise.
The trainer is James Tate, who operates out of Newmarket — the heartland of British flat racing — and has already sent out 48 winners this season, which tells you this is a yard in good form. When 00ridaa does appear, it will be worth watching, even if the first race tells us more about the future than it does about any kind of track record.
