What works in Regal Chita's favour is the yard behind it. Trained by James Owen at Newmarket — the heartland of flat racing in Britain — the horse has serious professional support. Owen's operation has sent out 204 winners this season alone, which is a remarkable number and puts the yard among the busiest and most successful in the country. A trainer firing out winners at that kind of volume knows how to place a horse, and with only two races under its belt, Regal Chita is still very much a work in progress. Raced as recently as yesterday, it is clearly an active campaign with more opportunities to come.
At two years old, the horse is essentially a teenager — still developing physically and mentally, still learning what racing actually demands. Plenty of horses that place early in their career go on to win once experience and confidence click into place. The question is whether Regal Chita can find that extra gear. With a trainer of Owen's calibre steering the ship, the honest answer is: watch this space.
