Perigord Noir
Perigord Noir is a two-year-old still finding its feet on the track, with no wins yet from five races but a run of promising placed finishes that suggests improvement is coming. The horse has shown most encouragement recently, picking up two fourth-place finishes and a third in its last three outings — a pattern that hints at consistency even if the wins aren't there yet. Just yesterday it raced again, finishing second, which keeps it firmly in active competition and shows the trainer believes there is more to come.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

🔍 Full Analysis
TrackLab's AI-generated assessment based on career data and recent form
Trained by George Baker at Epsom Downs in Surrey, Perigord Noir is in a yard that has already sent out 14 winners this season, so it is surrounded by experienced horsemanship. For a two-year-old at this stage, a record of two places from five races is not unusual — plenty of horses need time to work out what racing is about, and the recent form suggests Perigord Noir may be catching on. The second place yesterday, especially, gives reason to think the breakthrough win could be close. The horse is still learning, still racing regularly, and still improving with each outing.
