Win rate and top-3 rate will show once this horse has raced.
The horse comes from the Basford yard of Jennie Candlish, a trainer who has saddled 64 winners already this season — a steady, consistent operation. That kind of win rate suggests a yard that knows what it is doing and tends to run its horses in races where they have a genuine chance. First races are always a lottery with 2-year-olds, and debut form can be misleading, but the fact that Candlish thinks Hot Moonstone is ready to run suggests the horse has shown enough at home to warrant a racecourse try. What happens next will tell the real story.
