She is trained by James Tate at Newmarket, one of the most famous racing towns in the world, where horses have been trained since the 17th century. Tate's yard has been in strong form this season, sending out 48 winners, which tells you this is a professional, well-organised operation with plenty of firepower. Horses from this stable tend to be well-prepared, and a four-year-old finishing fourth on debut from a yard of this calibre is by no means a write-off — quite the opposite.
The honest truth is that one race tells you almost nothing about a young horse. Some improve dramatically between their first and second outings once the experience of race day clicks into place. With a good trainer, a full season ahead of her, and that first run now in her legs, Havana Sprite's story is really only just getting started.
