Renovator

That said, context matters. George Scott's yard in Newmarket has sent out 52 winners this season, which tells you this is a team that knows how to get horses performing. Newmarket is one of the great centres of flat racing in Britain, and Scott's operation is clearly a productive one. A horse coming out of that environment isn't short of good preparation — sometimes it just takes a young horse a little time to figure things out on the track.

Renovator raced just yesterday, so is very much in active training and still only 3 years old. At this stage, career trajectories can change quickly. Whether this horse finds its level and starts competing closer to the front remains to be seen, but there's a long road ahead.
