Tarot

What keeps Tarot interesting is context. Raced by Roger Varian's powerful Newmarket yard—a stable that has already saddled 87 winners this season alone—the horse plainly has access to the best training expertise and facilities. At Class 4 level, where Tarot has competed three times, the horse has won one of those races, a win rate of one in three that hints at potential in more modest company. Yet the recent slump, with no wins across the last six outings, suggests something has shifted. Whether that is a ceiling in ability, a loss of form, or simply bad luck in a competitive division remains unclear. What is certain is that Tarot raced just a day ago and remains an active competitor, still being asked to prove itself at the track. For a three-year-old with just one win to its name and a year since that triumph, the pressure to deliver is mounting.
