Santo

What works in Santo's favour is the quality of the stable behind him. Eve Johnson Houghton, based in Blewbury, Oxfordshire, has sent out 42 winners already this season — a number that marks her yard out as one of the genuinely productive operations in British racing right now. A trainer producing that volume of winners knows how to get a horse ready to race, and the fact that Santo raced just yesterday suggests the team are keeping him busy and looking for the right opportunity. Sometimes with young horses, it's simply a matter of finding the right race at the right moment — and with a yard firing on all cylinders, Santo is at least in good hands while he waits for that moment to arrive.
