Trainer Marco Botti operates out of Newmarket in Suffolk, one of British racing's most famous training centres, and his yard has been in fine form this season with 45 winners already on the board. Getting a first-time-out winner from a young horse is no small thing — two-year-olds are still learning the ropes, and plenty of them need a run or two before the penny drops. Bated Benevolence did it first time, which suggests the horse arrived at Nottingham well-prepared and ready to perform.
It is far too early to know what level this horse will reach, and a single race tells you only so much. But a clean debut win from a yard firing on all cylinders is exactly the kind of beginning that gets people paying attention.
