Flying Squad

What works in the horse's favour is where it calls home. Flying Squad is trained by Simon and Ed Crisford at Newmarket, one of British racing's most respected yards — and a busy one right now. The operation has sent out 78 winners already this season, which tells you this is not a yard that sends horses out just to make up the numbers. When a stable that productive keeps running a horse, it usually means they see something worth persevering with.

The form line also shows a dash — a race where no finishing position was recorded, likely meaning the horse didn't complete the race or the run is excluded for some reason. That's a minor mystery, but it doesn't change the overall picture much. Right now, Flying Squad is a work in progress, and with a race just yesterday, the team is clearly keeping it busy and looking for that first win to arrive.
