Lunar Melody

That improvement matters. Going from fifth to second in the space of two races suggests she is learning quickly and getting closer to figuring it all out. She raced just yesterday, so she is very much a horse in motion right now, with whatever comes next still fresh in the making.

She is trained by the father-and-son team of Richard and Peter Fahey at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, a yard that has already sent out two winners this season. The Faheys are experienced handlers, and a yard that knows how to get horses to the line first is exactly the kind of environment where a young horse finding her feet can develop into something worth watching.
