Grand Vendetta

There is something quietly impressive about a horse that wins on its very first outing, and Grand Vendetta did exactly that at Taunton in February 2026. That debut victory immediately marked the six-year-old out as one to follow, and the form since has done nothing to dampen the enthusiasm — a record of one win and two placed efforts from just three races tells you this is a horse that consistently finishes in the mix.Based on TrackLab's AI analysis

Winning 1 from 3 races, a win rate of 33%, means Grand Vendetta has found the winner's enclosure once in every three attempts, which is a genuinely strong return at this early stage of a career. Many horses take far longer to get off the mark, so doing it first time out and then posting two second-place finishes since suggests a consistent, competitive animal rather than a one-hit wonder.

The training operation behind Grand Vendetta is worth noting. Paul Nicholls, based at Ditcheat in Somerset, is one of the most decorated trainers in British racing, and this season his yard has sent out 93 winners — a figure that reflects a team operating at the very top of its game. Having a horse trained by Nicholls is a bit like having your car looked after by a Formula One pit crew. The resources, the experience, and the expectation are all elite. Grand Vendetta is currently active and racing, so whatever comes next arrives with genuine momentum behind it.
