Accademia

The form reads particularly well when you look at the most recent six runs: 7-4-4-5-1-1. That sequence tells a clear story of a horse that has been steadily improving, and those two wins at the end are no flash in the pan. The first came at Doncaster in early July 2026, and then, just two weeks later, Accademia backed it up with another victory at Newbury — one of the more prestigious tracks in the country. Winning at two different venues in quick succession like that is exactly the kind of form that gets people excited.

There is one condition that really brings the best out of this horse: fast, dry ground. On that surface, Accademia has won 2 of its 3 races — a remarkable two-thirds success rate. That is not a coincidence; it is a pattern, and it means the team at Upper Lambourn will be scanning the forecast closely before deciding where to run next.

That yard is Ed Walker's operation in Upper Lambourn, Berkshire, and 76 winners in a single season tells you this is a yard that knows how to place a horse and get results. Walker has a reputation for bringing horses along patiently, and Accademia looks like a horse that has been managed well — allowed to develop before being asked to perform. With the horse having raced just one day ago and clearly in the form of its young life, the next few months will be very interesting to watch.
