Short Sell
There are not many ways to put a positive spin on finishing eighth in your only race, but for Short Sell, a five-year-old trained by
Dan Skelton, the story is still very much in its opening chapter. One run, no wins, no places — that is the entire record so far, and that sole effort came just yesterday, so the horse is as fresh in the public eye as it gets.

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
What gives the profile any real interest is the yard behind it. Dan Skelton, based in Alcester, Warwickshire, has sent out 194 winners already this season — a number that puts him among the most productive trainers in the country. A stable firing at that rate does not tend to waste time on horses it believes have no future, so the fact that Short Sell is in training there at all is worth something. An eighth-place finish on debut is hardly a disaster; plenty of horses need a run or two simply to understand what is being asked of them.
Short Sell has nothing to show yet, but with a powerful yard in its corner and only one race to its name, drawing any conclusions at this stage would be premature. The next run will tell us considerably more.
