Fuel The Jet

The horse's breakthrough came at Newbury on 17 July, and since then it has hardly put a foot wrong. A first-race victory is never guaranteed—many promising horses stumble out of the gate—but Fuel The Jet managed it and has kept delivering. The most recent form reads like a horse maturing into genuine ability: a win, another win, a ninth-place finish (the kind of blip that even good horses have), then two more wins in quick succession. That latest success at Newmarket came only yesterday, which means Fuel The Jet is being campaigned hard and clearly the team believes the momentum is there to keep running.

Tom Clover's Newmarket yard has sent out 23 winners already this season, so the stable is in form and clearly knows how to train a young horse properly. Fuel The Jet sits at the very top of the pecking order in that yard right now. With a win rate of better than 1 in 2 races and the confidence that comes from winning at top-level tracks, this is a horse the racing world will be hearing a great deal more about.
