Sugar Yes Please

The pattern of results tells an interesting story. After winning its first race at Newbury in July, Sugar Yes Please showed it wasn't a one-off by winning again at Newmarket. Since then it has finished fourth and seventh, which suggests the horse may be testing itself at a higher level or simply meeting tougher opposition. At two years old, that's entirely normal — young horses improve in leaps and bounds, and this one has already proven it knows how to win. Trained by Eve Johnson Houghton at Blewbury in Oxfordshire, a yard that has sent out 42 winners this season alone, Sugar Yes Please has the kind of support and expertise behind it that good young horses need. Whether the recent runs represent a dip in form or a natural step up remains to be seen, but the win rate speaks loudly: when this horse gets it right, it wins races.
