Force Noir

Looking at the most recent five runs tells the story of a young horse finding its feet. Force Noir finished second just yesterday, which shows it is still in the mix at the sharp end of races. Before that came the win at Dundalk. The pattern of placings — the horse has 4 places alongside its 2 wins — suggests a genuine racer that is competitive whenever it steps onto the track. Over 5 races, that adds up to either winning or running well enough to finish in the first few positions every single time. There are no disasters here, no runs where the horse was out of its depth.

Force Noir is trained by Robson Aguiar at Mullingar in Westmeath, and the yard is having a strong season with 16 winners already. The trainer clearly knows how to handle young talent, and the fact that Force Noir has returned to winning form so quickly after a gap suggests the team is reading the horse well and getting it back on track at exactly the right moments. At just two years old, with this kind of early record, this horse is one to keep a close eye on as the season progresses.
