The horse is trained by Simon & Ed Crisford at their Newmarket yard, which has a strong recent record: the team has sent out 78 winners this season, suggesting competent handling and good form across the string. That Apulia Bay won at Nottingham in August shows the horse has the ability to deliver when it counts. The question now is whether the form since that win represents genuine difficulty, or simply the natural ups and downs of a young horse still finding its feet. With only five races under its belt, there is plenty of time for Apulia Bay to develop and prove whether it can turn that single success into a more regular occurrence.
