Summer Is Tomorrow
Summer Is Tomorrow is a three-year-old still learning the ropes, but showing real promise over a mile or slightly shorter. With three wins from thirteen races, the horse wins roughly one in every four or five outings—a solid record for a young animal still finding its feet. What's most encouraging is the form at distances between seven furlongs and a mile, where it has won two of its four races, a 50% win rate that suggests this is where it genuinely belongs.Based on TrackLab's analysis

Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse made its breakthrough at Down Royal last July and has since picked up wins at Gowran Park, most recently seven weeks ago. Since that Gowran Park victory, Summer Is Tomorrow has had a mixed run: last time out, just a day ago, it finished fourth, but before that came a solid second place and a couple of other placings that show it is still competitive at the top of its game. The horse is being trained by Joseph Patrick O'Brien at Owning Hill in County Kilkenny, a yard that has already sent out 160 winners this season—a sign of a serious operation with resources and know-how behind every runner.
The pattern here is a horse with real quality when conditions suit it. The recent fourth-place finish is nothing to worry about in isolation; what matters is that Summer Is Tomorrow has proven it can win races and is still active and being campaigned regularly. At three years old, it should be on an upward curve, and if the trainer can keep finding races over the mile or seven-furlong mark, there is every reason to think this young horse will add more wins to its tally.
