Kashooda

Kashooda is a 3-year-old horse trained by Andrew Balding at Kingsclere in Hampshire, a yard that has already sent out 202 winners this season. The horse has raced three times without a win but has shown some promise, finishing placed in two of those races — most recently second just a day ago. With a record of three runs producing two placings and one unplaced finish, Kashooda appears to be knocking on the door and could well break through soon. For a young horse still learning the ropes, being competitive enough to finish second so recently is a decent sign that it belongs in races at its current level. Balding's track record this season — over 200 winners from his yard already — suggests the horse is in capable hands and will be given every opportunity to develop into a winner.
