Black Missile

The recent form tells a story of a horse hovering around the frame without quite crossing the line. In the last six races, Black Missile has finished 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 6th, 3rd, and 5th. Two second-place finishes and two third-place finishes show that this horse regularly runs well enough to trouble the winner, but something — perhaps a touch of luck, perhaps a yard adjustment — is needed to get over the line. Julie Camacho's Norton yard is in good form this season with 46 winners, so the horse is in a team that knows how to get horses to the winner's enclosure. For a young horse still learning the game, more experience and a slight change in fortune could unlock that first win.
