Bound For Glory
Bound For Glory is a 4-year-old that has taken five months to add to its record since breaking through for a first win at Stratford-on-Avon last May. That single victory from seven races tells the story of a horse that is reliable without being a sparkling prospect: it finishes in the money roughly one race in every two, but winning is not something it does often. In recent form, the horse has picked up three third-place finishes in its last six outings, with a second and a fourth mixed in, before returning to the winner's enclosure just yesterday at the same Stratford course where it recorded that maiden win five months ago.Based on TrackLab's analysis

🔍 Full analysis
Our model's view, based on this horse's career and recent runs
Trained by Robert Stephens at Caldicot in Monmouthshire, Bound For Glory races in a yard that has had a solid season, sending out eleven winners across its string. That repeat success at Stratford suggests the horse has found a suitable level and track — a two-win haul at the same venue in a single year is unusual for a horse with these statistics, and it hints that Stratford suits something about the way this horse runs. With the win coming just yesterday, Bound For Glory is clearly still an active part of the training plan, even if the gaps between victories stretch long.
