Anchiano

That first win came at Great Yarmouth on 15 July 2026, just days ago, and it gives Anchiano a win rate of 50% — one from two, which is a remarkable return for any racehorse, let alone one still learning the job. For context, most horses in training win somewhere between 10% and 20% of their races across a career. Winning half of yours before your career has barely started puts you in very select company.

Behind the horse is George Scott, whose yard in Newmarket — the heartland of British flat racing — has already sent out 52 winners this season alone. That kind of output means Scott knows how to place a horse and bring it to the track ready to run. Anchiano is clearly being handled with care and confidence, and a trainer firing at that rate tends to run horses when they are primed to perform.

With only two races to go on, it is too early to say what ceiling this horse might reach, but the foundations look solid. A debut place followed by a win suggests a horse that has improved quickly and is learning fast. Anchiano is one to watch as the season develops.
