Torbados

Trained by Charles Hills at Lambourn, Torbados runs for a yard in good order this season—29 winners sent out already—which means the horse is getting competent handling. At Class 5 level, where most of Torbados's races come, the horse has been placed but remains winless from four attempts. The recent activity shows no sign of stopping: Torbados was out just yesterday, finishing second, which speaks to a sound, working animal that stays engaged. For a young horse with a string of near-misses and no breakthrough, there remains time for a win to arrive, though 14 races without victory suggests that when it comes, it will be worth waiting for.
