Jamie Richards had a mixed bag with the barrier draw for Wednesday’s races at Happy Valley—some tough luck for one horse, but a big break for his standout sprinter, Seasons Wit, who snagged the ideal inside gate for the Class Three St George’s Challenge Cup. Seasons Wit has been thriving since dropping back to shorter distances, and with all four of his wins coming at this exact course and distance, Richards is feeling optimistic about his chances.

Editor’s Note: For racing fans, barrier draws can make or break a horse’s chances, so Richards’ relief here is understandable. Seasons Wit’s recent form and perfect track record at Happy Valley make him one to watch—this could be a redemption story in the making after a patchy season. If you’re betting or just love a comeback, this race just got a lot more interesting.
