A Taste Of Glory

The career began at Brighton in October 2025, and whatever impression that debut made, it was enough to set things in motion. The most recent win came at Lingfield Park just last week, on 20 March 2026, and that back-to-back sequence of victories — the last two runs both ending in the winner's enclosure — suggests a horse hitting its stride at exactly the right moment. The fact that it raced nine days ago and is clearly still in training means there's more to come, and soon.

Behind the horse is Andrew Balding's yard at Kingsclere in Hampshire, one of the most productive training operations in Britain right now. Two hundred and four winners in a single season is a staggering number — that's roughly four winners every week — and it tells you this isn't a team that stumbles into success. When Balding's horses arrive at a track, they tend to be ready. A Taste Of Glory looks like a live example of exactly that.

Four races is, of course, a small sample. There are questions still unanswered: how will it cope when the competition steps up, or if conditions change? But right now, the record is spotless in the only way that matters — it has never finished worse than fourth, and half its races have ended in a win. For a young horse still finding its feet in the sport, that is a very promising foundation.
