Senator

His most recent outing came this week at Stratford-on-Avon, where he notched his second career win on 17 October. That victory followed a solid run of form: he has won twice in his last five races, with top-three finishes in all five outings. The pattern is clear — Senator shows up and performs, rarely running a bad race. He first broke his duck at Market Rasen in mid-February and has only improved since, building a resume that suggests he belongs in competitive company.

Senator races for Jamie Snowden's Lambourn yard, which has been prolific this season, sending out 82 winners already. That kind of operation breeds success, and Senator fits the profile of a horse that has had good support and consistent racing. At four years old, with two wins banked and seemingly more to come, he remains an active and improving prospect — the kind of horse that gets better the more he runs.
