Dressforsuccess

Dressforsuccess is a 4-year-old who ran for the first time just a day ago and finished fifth. It is trained by Dan Skelton at his Alcester yard in Warwickshire, one of the most productive operations in Britain — Skelton's team has sent out 198 winners already this season alone. That kind of win rate means the yard knows what it is doing, and a first run is often exactly that for a young horse: a learning experience rather than a race to judge it by. Whether Dressforsuccess will develop into something better depends entirely on what happens next.
