Lightning Hooves
Four races, no wins, no places, and a finishing position of 12th most recently — Lightning Hooves has not yet given punters much to shout about. The three-year-old has so far failed to get competitive in any of its four races, with results of 12th, 5th, 10th, and 6th suggesting a horse that is running respectably at times but finding others simply too good on the day.Based on TrackLab's analysis

That said, it is worth keeping the bigger picture in mind. Three-year-olds are still learning their trade, and four races is a small sample. The 5th-place finish stands out as the only hint of promise so far — close enough to suggest the ability might be there, even if it has not translated into a result yet. Having raced as recently as yesterday, Lightning Hooves is clearly fit and active, and its the yard will be looking for the right opportunity to unlock something better.
Tom Ward trains the horse from his yard at Upper Lambourn in Berkshire, and there is no doubting his operation is in decent form — 13 winners on the board this season shows a yard that knows how to get horses ready to perform. Whether Lightning Hooves can become one of those winners remains to be seen, but it is in capable hands.
