What's most telling about Fast Track Harry is the trajectory of his recent form. After a string of difficult runs through the summer and early autumn, where he finished 11th, 11th, 2nd, 10th, 5th and then 1st, he appears to have turned a corner. His trainer, Clive Cox—whose Lambourn yard has already sent out 48 winners this season—has observed that the horse is "coming to the boil nicely." That assessment seems borne out by his latest victory, which Clive described as a solid step forward, particularly impressive because it came on the all-weather at Lingfield, a surface Fast Track Harry hadn't tackled before.
The horse made his winning debut at Newbury in September last year, but struggled when stepped up in class to a Listed race at Doncaster, where soft ground proved a real obstacle—a significant clue that he prefers faster, firmer conditions. He's won at lower levels consistently, but has yet to break through in Class 2 races, where he's tried three times without success. This remains the next frontier for a horse that has shown enough talent to deserve a shot at the better races, and whose recent form suggests he might finally be ready.
