Luminare

William Haggas, one of the country's most successful trainers, has Luminare in his powerful Newmarket yard, which has already sent out 170 winners this season. The horse's two victories have come at the shorter end of the distance spectrum, winning both of its races between five and six and a half furlongs; at that trip, it has won 1 of 3 races, a 33% win rate that stands out against its 17% record overall (2 wins from 12). Class 5 races tell a similar story — Luminare has won 1 of 4 at that level, the kind of statistical glimmer that suggests it might be capable of more if it could string together a win during this barren run. Right now, though, it is a horse producing plenty of effort but little reward, and with last racing just a day ago, its next chance to break the drought will come soon.
