Sunday River
Sunday River has yet to break through in three races, but the 3-year-old is getting closer. Two top-3 finishes from three outings suggest a horse still learning the ropes, with its most recent run a wider tenth-place finish that interrupted an otherwise promising start. The colt came third on its debut and then improved to second, before that latest effort knocked the shine off slightly — though a single race is never the full story for a young horse still finding its feet.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
The horse runs for Brian Ellison's Norton yard in North Yorkshire, a stable that has already sent out 43 winners this season, so Sunday River is in the hands of someone who knows how to get the best from their charges. With only three races under its belt and a pattern of improvement visible in those first two runs, there is time for this 3-year-old to develop into a winner. The next race will tell us whether that second-place finish was a genuine stepping stone or simply a blip.
