Reformation

Andrew Balding's Kingsclere yard has had a stellar season with 202 winners already, so Reformation is part of a string that clearly knows how to prepare a horse to win. What's particularly striking is the speed at which Balding has brought this three-year-old back. Three weeks between races is a tight turnaround, yet Reformation didn't just run well — it won again. That kind of quick progression without a blip suggests the trainer has read this horse perfectly and knows exactly what it needs. With a race just yesterday, Reformation is clearly a live prospect right now, and the yard will be looking at what comes next with genuine excitement. A perfect record in two races is rare enough to turn heads; maintaining it is the real test.
