Adonius
Adonius has made a brilliant start to racing life, winning three of its first five races and finishing in the frame in all of them — a 60% win rate that marks the horse out as something genuinely special at two years old. The recent form tells the story: a win, another win, then three consecutive placings, most recently just two days ago. That last result, a second-place finish, came after four months away from the track, which suggests the horse is being brought back carefully rather than raced hard into the ground.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The two wins that bookend this run came at different tracks. Adonius broke through first at Musselburgh in April, then got back to winning ways at Chester in May before the break. Trainer R Menzies, based at Morden in Durham, has a yard that has sent out 36 winners already this season, so there is clearly competence and pace in that operation. The fact that Adonius is back racing after a four-month absence and immediately competitive — finishing second — suggests the trainer had a plan and the horse has responded to it. For a two-year-old still figuring out the game, three wins from five races is the kind of record that turns heads. Most young horses are grateful to win one; this one is winning regularly and still improving.
