Sharpe Ratio

The horse is trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien at his yard at Owning Hill in Co Kilkenny, Ireland. O'Brien is a name worth knowing in racing circles, and his team has sent out 160 winners so far this season. For a newcomer, that figure means the yard is busy and productive, turning out winners on a regular basis across its string of horses. A young horse arriving at a yard with that kind of output is in good hands for learning the ropes.

Sharpe Ratio last raced just 1 day ago, so it is very much active and fresh in the public eye. That timing can be exciting for anyone following the horse, because a 2-year-old that has just run once is still a blank page. Every outing from here will tell us more about what kind of racehorse it is going to become, and that is what makes following a horse like this so enjoyable: you are watching a story that has barely begun.
