Rebel Wave

The form figures from the last five runs read 1-1-2-6-5 (most recent first), meaning a win, another win, a second-place finish, then a couple of lower placings. That dip after the second victory is nothing to worry about—it happens to every young horse as they step up in grade or hit a slightly tougher field. What matters is that Rebel Wave has won twice already from just five races, placed in three of them, and shown no sign of being a one-hit wonder. It is being trained by W McCreery at Rathbride in County Kildare, a yard that has already sent out 19 winners this season, so the infrastructure is solid and the horse is getting proper support. At three years old, with two wins banked and momentum on its side after that Gowran Park success, Rebel Wave has the look of a horse with more to come.
