Mark Howard Dark Horses: Five unraced two-year-olds


Our columnist's series concludes with five unraced two-year-olds it should pay to follow in the coming months.

George Boughey had a fine season with his two year olds last year sending out 38 winners and operating at a healthy strike-rate of 19%. The Newmarket trainer, who recently moved into Craven House Stables on the Hamilton Road, is looking forward to unleashing the Amo Racing owned LITTLE HAVANA in the near future.

A May foal, she was acquired for 200,000gns at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale – Book 3 and Hugo Palmer’s former assistant describes her as: “A nice forward going filly with a super attitude. She is working well and showing plenty of speed at home.”

Amo Racing also own the Karl Burke trained SAXOPHONE, whose stable have made a tremendous start in the two-year-old department in 2025.

The head of Spigot Lodge Stables in Middleham is responsible for 8 winners from only 11 runners amongst the juvenile ranks and this colt by Dubawi has the pedigree and price tag to be smart. Bought for 625,000gns at the Tattersalls October Yearling Sale – Book 1 last Autumn, he is out of Criteria who was twice Group 2 placed for John Gosden a decade ago. A half-brother to Andrew Balding’s recent Craven meeting winner Spanish Voice, he is expected to make his racecourse bow over seven furlongs this summer.
