What makes Glory And Honour genuinely interesting is how specific the conditions need to be to bring out his best. He thrives on wet or muddy ground, winning 3 from 11 races in those conditions — roughly 1 in 4 — compared to a much thinner record elsewhere. He also excels at distances of a mile and three-quarters to two miles, winning 4 of 13 races at those trips, or nearly 1 in 3. His trainer Sam England has been open about this: after experimenting with longer distances over jumps, the team has concluded his ceiling is around two miles. Everything past that and he starts to empty. That self-knowledge from the yard matters — it means he tends to turn up in the right races.
England, based in Guiseley in West Yorkshire, has had a strong season with 53 winners, and Glory And Honour has been part of a well-managed campaign. The horse races in blinkers now — a piece of equipment added to sharpen focus — and his jockey Jonathan England (the trainer's son) is candid about the puzzle he presents: a strong traveller who does not always find as much as expected when it matters. That kind of horse needs a truly honest pace, and when he gets one, he fires. Together, Jonathan and Glory And Honour have won 4 from 27 races, roughly 1 in 7.
His last win came at Hexham in June 2025, ten months ago, and his recent run of 2-3-6-5-5-4 shows a horse knocking on the door without quite getting through it. He raced just yesterday and remains active. At 10 years old, with a trainer who clearly knows him inside out and a course record of 2 wins from just 4 visits to Wolverhampton, there is still a case to be made that the right day — wet ground, two miles, a fast pace — could bring up number ten.
