Final Dash is a two-year-old still finding its feet on the racetrack. It has run once so far, finishing outside the top three, which is hardly unusual for a young horse at the very start of its career. Trainer
James Fanshawe, who runs a successful operation from Newmarket in Suffolk, sent the horse out just a day ago for that debut race. Fanshawe's yard has already sent out 44 winners this season, so Final Dash is in the hands of someone who knows how to train a winner. What happens next will tell us whether this horse has genuine ability or is simply one of the many young thoroughbreds who wash out of the sport. For now, it is too early to say anything meaningful — a single race tells you almost nothing about a two-year-old's prospects.
