Nadhir Des Combettes (A)

Nadhir Des Combettes is heading to the races for the first time, a 3-year-old by Albahar with no track record to lean on. When a horse steps onto the racecourse as a complete unknown, there is genuine uncertainty about what it will do — whether it will handle the noise and chaos, whether it has the speed its pedigree suggests, whether it will take to racing at all. This is the appeal and the risk of a debut runner. The horse has been prepared by its trainer, and now comes the moment of truth.
