The first win came at Leopardstown in May 2026, a well-regarded track in Ireland where good young horses are regularly put to the test. Just over a month later, Nola Soul stepped up to Ascot — one of the most famous racecourses in the world, home to Royal Ascot and some of the biggest occasions in British racing — and won there too. Winning at Ascot as a two-year-old, in only your second career race, is not something ordinary horses do. The step up in stage did not seem to matter in the slightest.
Behind the horse is J A Stack, a trainer based in Golden, County Tipperary, whose yard has already sent out 12 winners this season. That is the kind of form that tells you a stable is firing on all cylinders, and Nola Soul looks like one of the sharper weapons in the armoury. With the Ascot win coming just this week, this is a horse whose story is being written in real time.
