The recent form tells a story of inconsistency that you would expect from a young horse still learning the game. Fantasy Force ran just a day ago and finished 13th, which follows a 14th-place effort before that. But go back two races and there is something to build on: a fifth-place finish, and before that a third-place run. So the horse has shown it can be competitive when things fall right, even if it has not quite managed to break through in a race yet. The single placement finish means the horse has at least got close enough to the front to earn some recognition, which matters for a 2-year-old. At this stage, consistency matters more than silverware.
Adrian Keatley's operation is the kind of yard where a young horse gets time and proper schooling rather than being rushed. With 43 winners sent out already this season, there is no panic in the stable — just methodical work. Fantasy Force will need to tighten up, especially at the business end of races, but a 2-year-old with recent third and fifth-place finishes in a decent yard is exactly where many future winners spend their early months.
