The Supersonic Kid

The Supersonic Kid is a four-year-old that has run just once in his racing career, finishing second on his debut. That single outing came just a day ago, which means he is still an extremely fresh proposition — the kind of horse that could easily improve dramatically as he learns the ropes. Trainer Oliver McKiernan, based at Rathcoole in County Dublin, will be hoping that experience proves invaluable as The Supersonic Kid races again. McKiernan's yard has already sent out six winners this season, so there is active talent and form in the stable. For now, The Supersonic Kid remains one of those horses at the very start of his story, with everything still to prove — but a near-miss on debut is a respectable calling card from which to build.
