Guesstimate

The standout detail is what happens when Guesstimate steps up in trip to around a mile and three furlongs or a mile and four furlongs. Over that distance, it has won one race from four attempts — a 25% win rate that towers above its overall record. That's a genuine clue to where this horse belongs, and trainer William Haggas, who runs one of Britain's most productive yards from Newmarket, clearly knows it. The hint of pattern in the recent form — two minor placings, then three in a row at or near the money — suggests Haggas may be zeroing in on the right sort of race. With the horse still active and racing just days ago, there is every reason to think we'll see Guesstimate back out soon, and likely back at a trip where it has already shown it can win.
