Quintillion

The record so far is one win and two places from three races, a win rate of roughly one in every three attempts. That debut victory at Great Yarmouth came early in the horse's career, which is always a confidence-builder. Trained by Charlie Johnston at Middleham Moor in North Yorkshire, Quintillion is part of a yard firing on all cylinders this season — Johnston has sent out 131 winners already, so this is a trainer with momentum and horses that know how to win. For a two-year-old with only three races under its belt, one winner and two placed finishes shows early promise. The recent seventh might look like a setback, but it came immediately after a win, which often happens when horses are kept busy and learning their trade. The fact that Quintillion is still racing hard, still getting chances to run, suggests the team sees something worth developing here.
