Sangreal

Trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien at Owning Hill in County Kilkerry, Sangreal is part of a yard that has sent out 160 winners already this season. That's a yard firing on all cylinders, which means the trainer believes there is something worth developing here. The fact that Sangreal has picked up three places in four races suggests she is competitive at the level she is running at, even if the breakthrough hasn't come yet. Many horses take a handful of races to work out what they are doing and where they fit in. For a 3-year-old still early in her career, that run of consistent minor placings is the sort of foundation you build a proper racer on.
