Blakey Ridge
Blakey Ridge is a 2-year-old still finding its way, but the early signs are genuinely promising. The horse won on its most recent outing just this week at Thirsk, adding a second-place finish from the race before that to a record of one win and two places from two races overall. That is a 50% win rate — the kind of return that turns heads in the early stages of a young horse's career, even if the sample size is small.Based on TrackLab's analysis

What makes this particularly encouraging is the timing. Blakey Ridge showed it could finish placed in its previous race, then came back three days later to get the job done. That suggests a horse with decent form underneath and the ability to bounce back quickly. The horse is trained by Declan Carroll at Malton in North Yorkshire, a yard that has already sent out 24 winners this season — a sign of a strong operation that knows how to prepare young horses properly.
At just 2 years old, Blakey Ridge is still learning the game. One win is still only one win, and the racing world is full of juveniles who flash promise early and then plateau. But a debut winner who follows up with a second place and then returns to win again within the same week? That is a horse worth keeping an eye on.
