Fourth Crusade

The horse is trained by Sir Mark Prescott, one of the most respected figures in British racing, whose Newmarket yard has already sent out 47 winners this season. Prescott's reputation suggests there is genuine potential here — he is not a trainer who keeps running horses that are going nowhere. The fact that Fourth Crusade continues to race just days after his latest attempt hints that his trainer sees signs worth pursuing. Two runs is not enough to judge a young horse, especially one in the care of a yard this successful. Whether Fourth Crusade will break through soon remains to be seen, but he is clearly being given the opportunity to learn and find his level.
