Eremenko

The most revealing stat is how much she improves on her preferred ground. On normal conditions, Eremenko wins roughly 2 from every 5 attempts; on faster, firmer ground she struggles to find the same form. McCain describes her as feisty and not overly tall, but with the toughness and jumping ability that marks a genuine racer. Her bloodline carries promise too — she's a half-sister to Doddiethegreat, a horse bred for the game. Recent form shows she hasn't quite hit her stride in the last six races, picking up a place or two but missing the winner's circle, which suggests she may be waiting for the kind of ground and race conditions that suit her best. In a yard that has already sent out 55 winners this season, Eremenko looks like a horse with unfinished business.
