The Hostage
Three races, no wins, no places — The Hostage has yet to give its supporters much to shout about. The 5-year-old has finished eighth on one occasion and has failed to complete or finish on two others, which tells the story of a horse still searching for its best.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

That said, The Hostage is very much an active project. It raced just yesterday, which means Warren Greatrex and his team at Upper Lambourn are clearly still working to find the conditions or race that suits. Greatrex is a trainer worth paying attention to — 50 winners from his yard this season shows a genuinely productive operation, and horses in that environment tend to be trained with purpose rather than just filling races.
There is nothing here yet to get excited about on the numbers alone, but every horse with a record one day had a blank one. The question is whether The Hostage can translate whatever Greatrex sees in it into a result on the track.
