Sky Secret

What matters here is the trainer. Clive Cox's Lambourn yard is in the business of producing winners — they have sent out 48 winners this season alone, which means this is a properly functioning operation with the skill to develop young horses. At two years old, Sky Secret is still learning the game, and a single win from six races, while modest on the numbers alone, does not tell you much about a young horse's ceiling. The long gap between the Leicester win in May and now — four months without another victory — suggests the horse may have found the step up challenging, or simply needed time to develop. With an active, progressive trainer behind it and time on its side, Sky Secret remains very much a horse with potential still to reveal.
