Master Haku

Three races in and Master Haku has a win and three places to its name — in other words, it has never finished outside the top three. That kind of consistency from such an early stage is worth paying attention to. The win came at Kilbeggan on 24 April 2026, just this week, and follows a sequence of 1-2-3 across its last three outings. It has, in effect, improved with every single run, which is exactly what you hope to see from a young horse still learning its trade.

Winning 1 from 3 races — a rate of roughly 1 in every 3 — is a solid return at this stage, but the more telling number might simply be that podium finish in every race run so far. Whether Master Haku can maintain that level as it steps up in class remains to be seen, but right now it looks like a horse that Elliott's team will be keeping busy and ambitious plans for.
