Princesse d'Orange

There is a lot to like about a two-year-old who wins on debut and then takes on some of the best young horses in the country just weeks later. Princesse d'Orange did exactly that, winning on her first outing at Beverley in April before stepping straight into a Listed race — one of the higher-tier races on the calendar — at York's Marygate Stakes. She finished fifth there, but her trainer David O'Meara isn't discouraged; his view is that the race was run at a pace that didn't suit her, and he still sees her as a horse capable of competing at the top level.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That confidence carries some weight when you consider the yard behind her. O'Meara's operation at Upper Helmsley in North Yorkshire has sent out 101 winners already this season — that is not a yard making up numbers. When a trainer of that output singles out a young horse as one capable of black-type company, the highest tier of recognised achievement for a racehorse, it is worth paying attention.

Her overall record reads one win and two placed finishes from four races — winning 1 in every 4 outings — and her recent form of 17th, 3rd, 5th, and 1st (reading backwards from debut) tells the story of a horse still finding her feet at different levels. The 17th looks alarming, but it sits at the end of a sequence that includes a win and two respectable finishes, which suggests it was an off day rather than a pattern. O'Meara is already thinking about Royal Ascot as a possible target, or a return to a sharp, fast track like York. Either option would represent serious ambition for a horse still only two years old.

She last raced just one day ago, so her immediate future is still being shaped. But the picture is clear enough: a smart, quick-ground type with a trainer who believes she belongs at the top end of two-year-old racing. The Beverley win was the starting point, not the ceiling.
