Fashion's Fancy

What gives that Haydock win extra weight is who is doing the training. Charlie Appleby's yard in Newmarket is one of the most powerful operations in British racing — 121 winners in a single season is a remarkable number, roughly one every two or three days. When a yard is running at that kind of pace, every horse that comes out of it is taken seriously, and Fashion's Fancy has already justified that attention by getting off the mark first time at the track.

At just three years old and with only three races behind it, there is not much history to read yet — but that is part of what makes this horse worth watching. The recent form of 8th, 1st, and 3rd tells a slightly mixed story on the surface, but a win sandwiched between two minor finishes is not a bad picture for a young horse still learning. Racing just one day ago, Fashion's Fancy is clearly being kept busy, and with Appleby's team behind it, expect that to continue.
