Aston Bay is a two-year-old horse still finding its way on the track. It made its debut just a day ago and finished sixth in that outing, so it has everything to prove. The horse is trained by
James Horton at Newmarket, a yard that has sent out 20 winners already this season, so there is clearly some quality horsemanship at work behind the scenes. For a young horse in its first race, a sixth-place finish is not unusual — most horses need time and experience before they settle into racing and show what they can do. Aston Bay will likely get another chance soon enough, and how it performs in its next few races will be much more telling about its potential.
