Hallandale Beach

That win came at Chepstow just this week, on 27 June 2026, and it is the kind of result that makes a yard sit up and take notice. After two fifth-place finishes early on, Hallandale Beach began threading into the placings and eventually converted, suggesting the penny has well and truly dropped. A win rate of 20% — one from five — is solid for a horse still learning its trade, and the two placed finishes on either side of the victory show this is not a horse that only performs on its best day.

The trainer is Kevin Philippart De Foy, based in Newmarket, which is about as central to British racing as it gets — a town built around the sport, home to some of the most respected yards in the country. Philippart De Foy has sent out 40 winners already this season, which speaks to a stable in fine form and gives Hallandale Beach a strong platform to build on. With the win coming so recently, and the horse still only three years old, there is plenty of time for this profile to get a lot more interesting.
