Win rate and top-3 rate will show once this horse has raced.
The fact that Freetobe is being run now, at four years old rather than as a younger horse, might suggest the trainer has taken time to get him right. Whether that points to soundness issues or simply a patient approach is impossible to say from the outside. What matters on race day is whether O'Brien's preparation pays off. The yard's form this season — 90 winners — is solid enough that a debut runner from there arrives with genuine credentials.
