A Bear Affair

At just two years old, A Bear Affair is already making a name for itself, with one win and three place finishes from six races — a record that translates to winning roughly 1 in every 6 outings so far. That might not sound spectacular, but for a horse this young, still figuring out the game, consistency like that across six races is a solid foundation.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

The highlight of its career came at Doncaster on 28 March 2026, a win that remains its only victory to date. Doncaster is one of British racing's most respected tracks — a long, sweeping course that tends to find out horses who aren't genuinely good, so winning there as a two-year-old carries real weight. Since then, the form has been patchier — finishes of third, seventh, sixth, and second suggest a horse that can be brilliant one day and frustrating the next, which is about as two-year-old as it gets.

A Bear Affair is trained by Richard Hannon at his yard in Herridge, Wiltshire, and the operation is firing on all cylinders right now — 118 winners already this season puts Hannon firmly among the busiest and most productive trainers in the country. When a horse is coming out of a yard producing that kind of volume of winners, it tends to be well-prepared and well-placed in its races. A Bear Affair raced just yesterday, meaning it is very much in active campaign mode, and with the summer still in play, there is every reason to think more opportunities are coming.
