The other reason to pay attention is who has the horse in training. Roger Varian operates one of the most powerful yards in Newmarket — the historic home of British flat racing — and his team has already sent out 87 winners this season alone. That kind of volume is not an accident. It reflects a stable that knows how to prepare young horses and pick the right moments to run them. When a yard of that calibre puts a well-bred two-year-old on a racecourse for the first time, it is usually because they believe the horse is ready. First-time runners from top stables with strong pedigrees are always worth watching, even if the form book has nothing to say yet. Today, Incendio starts writing its own story.
