You’ll have been following my updates on Herridge Stables and felt that I’m merely stating the apparent—particularly the apparent negatives. Nonetheless, I consider that highlighting poor performances is crucial for offering an sincere evaluation of a secure’s outcomes. The numbers converse for themselves. If this makes for troublesome studying, then that’s merely the truth of the state of affairs. I’m certain followers of Herridge Stables, Marlborough, are upset by the shortage of two-year-old winners in 2024. Let’s take a better have a look at the numbers to higher perceive the state of affairs.
The primary two-year-old runner of the 2024 season was Majestic Heights, who completed 4th at odds of 100/30 on April 1st.
The ultimate juvenile race of the turf season ended with Mielikki, who completed eighth at odds of 14/1.
In complete, there have been 82 two-year-old runners.
Let’s break down the month-to-month debut winners:
April:
Hawaiian (11/8f)
Could:
Xanthe (8/1)
June:
An Outlaw’s Grace (15/8)
July:
No winners
August:
No winners
September:
Too A lot Heaven (6/1)
Persian Spirit (20/1)
Stem (5/2)
October:
British Blue (15/2)
November:
No winners
Abstract:
This has been removed from a classic turf season, with disappointing outcomes throughout each turf and all-weather races. There have been solely 7 debut winners from 82 debut runners. Of these, 3 had been priced at 5/2 or much less. Except for September, which noticed 3 debut winners, most different months had only one winner, with July, August, and November seeing no debut winners in any respect. For a coach of Herridge’s caliber and with such a lot of runners, this has been a very dreadful season.
From observing the betting for debut runners (although I gained’t delve into the main points right here, as I want to maintain this info personal), the statistics are equally grim. Almost all two-year-old debutants had been poor worth, with many horses being closely backed regardless of questionable odds.
You is likely to be questioning how the juveniles carried out on their second begin. Let’s check out these outcomes.
There have been solely 6 two-year-old winners on their second begin, which included:
The Actor (11/4)
Principality (1/2)
Linwood (11/1)
Our Phrases (7/2)
King Of Cities (13/8)
Preliminary Blue (2/1)
Abstract:
A meager 6 winners on their second begin. 5 of the 6 winners priced 7/2 and fewer sp. That is equally disappointing, particularly for the reason that second begin is often a primary alternative for juveniles to win. Out of a doable 164 runs, solely 13 resulted in wins. Provided that fewer horses sometimes win on their third begin in comparison with their first two, these figures replicate poorly on the general efficiency.

It’s clear that Herridge Stables will wish to transfer previous this disappointing 12 months, significantly with a secure of high-profile homeowners. Nonetheless, it’s necessary to contemplate how such a poor season may have occurred.
