Jinman

Being trained by Roger Varian at Newmarket is a significant advantage. Varian's yard has already sent out 87 winners this season, which speaks to the quality of horsemanship and planning on display. For a young horse still in his first season of racing, having that kind of professional environment around him matters. The fact that Jinman is racing regularly, with his last outing only yesterday, shows he is being given opportunities to develop. Given his age and the lack of early wins, what will matter most over the coming months is whether he can build on those placed efforts and convert them into victories. Young horses often show their best form later in the year or in their second season, so there is plenty of time for Jinman to prove whether he has genuine ability or is simply a horse learning his trade at a modest level.
