Mighty Fleur

Mickey Bowen's yard at Haverfordwest has found something in this horse. The trainer has sent out 52 winners this season, but Mighty Fleur's recent purple patch marks her out as one to follow. Bowen has indicated she has genuine ability—the horse broke her duck at Fakenham back in May and has been climbing the ladder ever since. Most recently, she won at Worcester just this week, suggesting the yard is pitching her carefully into winnable races. Jockey Sean Bowen, who has ridden Mighty Fleur twice and won on her both times, clearly understands what makes her tick. That 33% win rate in the saddle suggests she knows exactly how to get the best from her.

It's worth noting that Mighty Fleur has yet to win in Class 4 company—the higher grade races—finishing unplaced in all six attempts at that level. That tells you something important: her wins are coming at the level below, where she is genuinely competitive. For now, that's exactly where she should be. She's a horse enjoying herself, running frequently and winning regularly. Watch her over the next few weeks to see whether this streak continues or whether the yard decides to step her up in class.
