Park Annonciade

The career record reads 4 wins and 11 places from 26 races — winning roughly 1 in every 6 or 7 outings, which is a solid if not spectacular return. But recent form is genuinely eye-catching: in the last six runs, Park Annonciade has finished first, second, third, out of the frame, fourth, and second. That is a horse in form. It won just this week at Huntingdon on 4 April 2026, making it one of the most current winners you will find anywhere, and that victory follows a sequence showing consistent competitiveness rather than occasional flashes.

The key to unlocking Park Annonciade seems to be the ground. On slightly wet, soft conditions, this horse has won 3 of its 10 races — a 30% win rate, or nearly 1 in every 3. On any other type of ground, the numbers fall away sharply. Trainer Sarah Humphrey, based in West Wratting in Cambridgeshire, will know this well, and timing a run for the right conditions is as much a part of training as anything done on the gallops. Her yard has sent out 7 winners this season, suggesting a stable in good health.

The highlight of Park Annonciade's career so far remains a Class 2 victory at Haydock Park in November 2023 — one of the top grades of race in Britain, and a significant achievement for a horse at this level. Its regular rider, J J Slevin, has partnered the horse six times without a win together, which is one of those odd statistical footnotes that doesn't necessarily tell the whole story — plenty of those runs will have contributed to the placing record — but it is worth noting. With soft ground, a favourable track, and recent winning form behind it, Park Annonciade is a horse that clearly still has something to offer at 8 years old.
