Silver Dominion

Oliver Cole's Whatcombe yard has been in good form this season, with eight winners already, and Silver Dominion remains one of the trainer's active runners. At two years old, the horse is still very much a work in progress, and there is time yet to develop. The fact that it came out to race just yesterday shows it is a genuine part of Cole's squad rather than a prospect being carefully managed. For a young horse with limited experience, a win rate of roughly 1 in every 4 races is nothing to dismiss, but the question now is whether it can find a way back to the winner's circle — or whether the level of racing has simply moved up beyond it. That is the story watching unfolds over the next few months.
