Lion O
Three races, three quiet afternoons — Lion O has yet to trouble the judge in any of its outings so far, finishing eighth, then fifth, then sixth across its three appearances. For a two-year-old, that's not necessarily a cause for alarm. Young horses are still learning their trade, and finishing fifth and sixth suggests Lion O is finding its feet rather than being entirely out of its depth.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What works in its favour is the calibre of the team behind it. Trainer Kevin Philippart De Foy operates out of Newmarket — the heartland of British flat racing — and has been in seriously good form this season, sending out 40 winners. That's a yard firing on all cylinders, and horses in that environment tend to improve with experience and good handling. Lion O only raced yesterday, so there's clearly no hesitation about keeping it active and letting it learn on the job.
The honest picture right now is that Lion O is a work in progress. Zero wins from three races tells you it hasn't clicked yet, but two-year-olds often need time, and being in a yard with 40 winners this season means it's surrounded by the right people to help it find its way.
