From Afar
From Afar is a two-year-old with the kind of record that suggests real potential. In three career races, the horse has won once and finished in the top 3 twice — a 33 per cent win rate that any trainer would be pleased with at this stage. That first victory came at Pontefract on 24 September, and the horse has raced twice since, finishing second most recently and then sixth just yesterday. Being back in action so quickly suggests the the yard are keen to build on early promise while the horse is still finding its feet.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The trainer is William Haggas, one of Britain's top operators at Newmarket. Her yard has already sent out 170 winners this season, which tells you the calibre of operation handling From Afar. At two years old, the horse is still learning, and that sixth-place finish last time out is neither unusual nor concerning — young horses improve in fits and starts. What matters is that Pontefract victory three weeks ago proved From Afar has the ability to win races, and the second-place finish since then shows the horse can still compete at speed even after that effort. With a top trainer in the mix and real racing experience building up, From Afar is one to watch as it matures through the rest of its juvenile season.
