The last six runs have gone 6th, 7th, 4th, 9th, 2nd, 2nd — read that right to left and you have a horse that looks to be finding its way. Two consecutive runner-up finishes heading into its most recent race is the kind of form that suggests a win might not be far off, even if that ninth-place effort in the middle of the sequence was a bump in the road. The horse raced just one day ago, so it is right in the thick of an active campaign.
Supreme Clarets competes at Class 4, which sits in the middle of the racing ladder — not the very top level, but not the bottom rung either. It has run three times at that level without winning, but the places are there, and consistency at this grade is at least a foundation to build on. The challenge now is converting those near-misses into a first victory.
The yard behind the horse is Richard and Peter Fahey, based at Musley Bank in North Yorkshire. With 23 winners already on the board this season, this is a stable that knows how to get horses to win races — which makes it all the more likely that when Supreme Clarets does find the right opportunity, the team will be ready to take it.
