Venetian Sky

The horse runs for trainer William Haggas, who commands one of the most successful yards in Britain. Haggas is based at Newmarket in Suffolk and has sent out 170 winners already this season—a remarkable win rate that speaks to the quality of horses and horsemanship in that operation. For a trainer of that caliber to be patient with a horse that hasn't won yet suggests there is genuine belief in Venetian Sky's potential, or at least enough promise to keep it in training and racing regularly. The recent form—fourth, fifth, fourth again over the last few races—hints that the horse is competitive at its current level, even if the winning breakthrough has not yet arrived. With racing continuing at this pace, that breakthrough may not be far away.
