La Fuerza

The most recent four races tell a mixed story. A fifth-place finish came last time out, but before that La Fuerza picked up a second place, then a third, suggesting the horse can compete in the middle ranks on its day. The yard training La Fuerza — Simon & Ed Crisford at Newmarket — has sent out 78 winners this season, so the horse is in a stable with serious form and resources. That success at Wolverhampton seven weeks ago showed what is possible, and at this stage of its career, with only four races under its belt, La Fuerza remains very much a work in progress. The recent run came just yesterday, so the horse is actively campaigned and still racing regularly. Whether this two-year-old can convert potential into more winners remains to be seen, but the early signs suggest patience may be rewarded.
