Take A Chill Pill

What makes this worth watching, though, is the yard behind it. James Owen trains out of Newmarket — the heartland of British flat racing — and has sent out 204 winners this season alone. That is a serious operation, and horses from a stable producing that volume of winners tend to improve as they learn their trade. At three years old, Take A Chill Pill is still finding its feet, and a consistent finishing position suggests it is at least completing its races without incident, even if the wins aren't coming yet.

The name alone earns it a second glance. Whether it lives up to that instruction and eventually relaxes into a more rewarding gear remains to be seen — it raced just yesterday, so the story is very much still being written.
