Win rate and top-3 rate will show once this horse has raced.
What matters now is what happens on the track. A Oliver's yard at Caledon has been in fine form this season, sending out 18 winners already, which speaks to the trainer's eye for a horse and the quality of the operation. That kind of win rate suggests the yard knows what it is doing when it comes to preparing young horses to run. For a debutant, that is a significant advantage. Whether Favour Royal has the raw talent to match the promise of its pedigree and the trainer's record will become clear once the gates open. Debuts are always worth watching — you never quite know what you are going to get until a horse actually runs.
