Rogue Supremacy

Working with trainer Archie Watson at Upper Lambourn — a yard that has saddled sixty-two winners this season and clearly knows how to get horses ready — should count in Rogue Supremacy's favour. But the numbers with Luke Morris, its most frequent partner in the saddle, tell a harder story: no wins from five rides together. More troubling still is the horse's record in top-class races. It has contested six races at the highest level and won none of them, which suggests there may be a gap between what Rogue Supremacy can do in ordinary company and what it needs to do to win when the quality really tightens. With only two wins from nineteen races overall — a win rate of just better than one in ten — this is a horse that remains capable of winning again, but will need to find its way back to the kind of track or the kind of race where it felt at home.
