New Vega

What makes New Vega interesting is the pedigree behind it. The horse is trained by Simon and Ed Crisford at their powerful Newmarket yard, which has already sent out 78 winners this season alone — a sign of a operation that knows how to prepare a horse for the track. That early win at Doncaster suggests the horse has the talent to get the job done when conditions align. The real question now is whether New Vega can rediscover that form and string together a run of consistency. At 25 per cent (one win from four races since that debut victory), the horse wins roughly once every four outings — not bad on paper, but the recent months have been lean. With the yard's reputation behind it and active racing continuing, there is still time for New Vega to find its feet and remind everyone why it won that opening race.
