The recent form is where things get genuinely interesting. After a rough patch that saw Yellow Card finish 9th, 8th, and 11th in three consecutive races, something clicked. The horse has since posted a 2nd, a 1st, and another 2nd in its last three outings — a proper turnaround in form that's hard to ignore. That last win came at Newton Abbot on 3rd June, just five weeks ago, and with a race as recently as yesterday, this is a horse very much in the thick of things right now.
The career started at Wolverhampton back in May 2025, where Yellow Card picked up that first win — a moment that clearly marked the beginning of a more settled phase. What's slightly puzzling is the record at Class 4 level, where Yellow Card has raced six times without winning. Given that three wins have come from the remaining races, it suggests the horse may actually find its best form outside of that specific bracket, which is an unusual quirk worth watching.
Mickey Bowen trains out of Haverfordwest in Pembrokeshire, and his yard has been in excellent shape this season — 52 winners is a serious haul and puts Yellow Card in the hands of a trainer clearly operating at full throttle. When a horse is in form and the yard is firing, those two things together tend to matter. Yellow Card looks like a horse to keep on your radar for the weeks ahead.
