Sydney Grace

The recent runs tell a mixed story. After winning at Carlisle, Sydney Grace was placed second, then won a race, then finished sixth most recently. That last run was just a day ago, so the horse is being kept active. The pattern shows promise interrupted by inconsistency, which is not unusual for a young horse still finding its feet. What matters is that Charlie Fellowes, the trainer based at Newmarket, has a yard with real momentum this season — already 21 winners sent out — so Sydney Grace is in a stable with the form to develop young talent properly. At this stage of a two-year-old's career, consistency matters less than direction, and a win rate of roughly one in four is respectable for a horse still learning the game.
