Extragalactic

William Haggas trains Extragalactic at his Newmarket yard, which has already sent out 170 winners this season alone — a powerhouse operation that clearly knows how to get horses ready to run. That Haggas has entrusted Extragalactic with racing twice in the past few days, and backed it up with a victory, suggests real confidence in what the horse can do. The immediate pattern in its form — a win followed by two successive top-3 finishes — shows a horse that is consistently competitive at whatever level it is facing. For a 2-year-old barely out of its infancy as a racehorse, that kind of consistency is the hallmark of something worth watching.
