Onslaught

Trained by Richard and Peter Fahey at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire, Onslaught has the benefit of a yard that knows how to develop young horses. The Faheys have already sent out 23 winners this season, so the team clearly has the skill and experience to turn raw talent into raceday success. For a 2-year-old still taking shape, that kind of expertise matters. There is time yet. The placings Onslaught has earned suggest the horse belongs in competitive races and is not far away from breaking through — many young horses need several runs to understand what they are doing, and the pattern of a place, another place, then a wider defeat is not uncommon for those learning the craft. What happens next will depend on where the Faheys pitch the horse and whether the experience gained in these early outings starts to click into wins.
