Jubel

Jubel is trained by A. Slattery at Thurles in County Tipperary, a yard that has already sent out 62 winners this season. That's a healthy win rate for a training operation, which suggests the horse is in a competent setup where it will be given a proper chance to develop. What happens next matters far more than what happened on day one. Young horses improve dramatically between their first and second races, and between their second and third. Jubel will have learned something from the experience of being on a racecourse, being saddled, and feeling the pace of other horses. How the trainer reads that debut and what races are chosen next will go some way to defining whether this becomes an interesting story.
