What gives those placed finishes extra meaning is the yard behind the horse. Trained by Andrew Balding at Kingsclere in Hampshire, Scommessa Sicura is part of one of the most productive operations in British racing right now — 202 winners sent out this season alone. When a yard is hitting those numbers, horses don't get entered in races unless the team believes they belong there, so finishing in the frame twice from two attempts tells you something real about this horse's ability.
At two years old, with a race just yesterday and clearly still in active training, there is plenty of time for the story to develop. Some horses take a few runs to figure out what racing is all about, and the fact that Scommessa Sicura has placed on both attempts — rather than trailing home well beaten — suggests it already has the temperament and talent to compete. Getting over the line first is the next step, and with Balding's team in its corner, the opportunity should come soon.
