Fregada

Trained by John James Feane at Curragh in County Kildare, Fregada competes in a yard that has produced eight winners this season. That places the trainer among the working operations, though hardly among the powerhouses. For Fregada itself, the long drought since that single victory at The Curragh raises a simple question: whether the horse has simply found its level and settled as a consistent middle-of-the-pack competitor, or whether there remains untapped potential. At four years old, the window for improvement is narrowing, and the recent run of minor placings without a win suggests Fregada may have shown us most of what it has to offer on a racetrack.
