Cabeceo

Cabeceo made his debut just a day ago and finished seventh, which is how most racehorses begin their careers—unplaced and with everything still to learn. The two-year-old is trained by Hugo Palmer at Malpas in Cheshire, a yard that has already sent out 67 winners this season, so the horse is in the hands of someone who knows how to develop young talent. Palmer's record suggests Cabeceo will have had the benefit of a well-run operation, even if the opening race didn't go to plan. It is far too early to draw any conclusions from a single outing, and plenty of decent horses need a race or two under their belt before they show what they can do.
