Summer Is Tomorrow

The three-year-old found its feet at a useful distance — over 7 furlongs to a mile, it has won 2 of just 4 races, a remarkable 50% record that suggests this is very much its sweet spot. The first win came at Down Royal in July 2025, and the second followed at Roscommon on 1 September. Two wins at two different tracks points to a horse with genuine ability rather than one that simply fluked a result on a track that suits it.

The recent form, however, tells a different story. Reading the last six results from most recent backwards — 2nd, 2nd, 9th, 6th, 4th, 16th — there is a horse that has not crossed the line first in 10 months. The two second-place finishes are encouraging and suggest the ability is still there, but converting that into a win has proven elusive. The 9th and 16th earlier in that sequence are the kind of results that raise questions, though every horse has bad days.

What makes this an interesting moment is the timing: Summer Is Tomorrow raced just one day ago and is very much a live, active runner. Still only three years old, there is every reason to believe the best is not yet behind it. At a distance between 7 furlongs and a mile, backed by a trainer firing in winners at a relentless rate, the pieces are in place for that third win to arrive sooner rather than later.
