Kameko Fever

The recent form makes for interesting reading. A second place tucked in among a run of fourth and fifth-place finishes shows there is ability there, and finishing second is at least a sign the horse is mixing it at the right end of the field. The most recent run, just yesterday, resulted in an eleventh-place finish — a rare off day by recent standards, or simply a race where the competition stepped up sharply.

Kameko Fever is trained by Richard and Peter Fahey at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, one of the busiest and most respected yards in the north of England. The operation knows how to get horses winning — nine winners already on the board this season — so when a horse like Kameko Fever finally clicks into gear, the team around it will be well placed to make the most of it. At three years old, there is still time. Some horses simply take a while to find their confidence and their best conditions. The question is whether the penny drops before the season runs out.
