Javelot

Trained by Marco Botti at his Newmarket base in Suffolk, Javelot is part of an operation that has sent out 45 winners already this season—the kind of yard that knows what it is doing. Botti is not running a horse in low-grade races for the sake of it; he is building something. The fact that Javelot has been back on the track just days after its last outing shows the trainer believes in keeping the momentum going while the horse is sharp and improving. For a two-year-old still working out how to race, that regular action can be invaluable. With recent form that reads 5-1-4, there is clearly room for improvement, but the early promise of that debut win suggests better days are likely ahead.
