Lightning Hooves

Three races in, and Lightning Hooves is yet to give the yard — sorry, yet to give Tom Ward's yard anything to shout about. A 3-year-old trained out of Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, this horse has finished 5th, 10th, and 6th across its three races so far, with no wins and no places to its name. That 10th-place finish is the kind of run that raises questions, though at this early stage of a young horse's career, it doesn't necessarily tell the whole story.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

What is worth noting is that Lightning Hooves raced just yesterday, so Ward clearly isn't short of confidence in keeping the horse active and looking for improvement. Ward's yard has sent out 13 winners this season, which tells you this is a capable operation that knows how to get a horse ready to perform. The fact that Lightning Hooves hasn't clicked yet isn't a reflection on the trainer — some young horses simply take time to find their feet, and three races is a small sample.

The honest summary right now is that this is a horse still searching for its moment. Whether that moment comes soon is the question Ward and his team will be asking themselves.
