Trained by Dylan Cunha out of Newmarket, one of the most competitive training centres in the country, Overbudget is part of a yard that has sent out 45 winners this season — so this is clearly a team that knows how to get horses to win races. The fact that Overbudget keeps finishing second rather than first is unlikely to be down to a lack of preparation. It may simply be a horse that needs to find that final gear, or one that has just kept meeting something a little bit better on the day.
What is worth noting is that Overbudget raced just yesterday, meaning everything here is as current as it gets. Three runs, all placed, all second — there is a horse in here that clearly belongs at this level and competes hard every time. The next race, whenever it comes, will be the one to watch. A horse that finishes second three times in a row is, almost by definition, overdue a win.
