Rose Of Honour

Trained by James Tate out of Newmarket in Suffolk, Rose Of Honour is part of a yard that has been in seriously good form, sending out 51 winners already this season. That level of output from a trainer matters — it means the horses are well-prepared, fit, and being placed in the right races. Rose Of Honour's career arc suggests she's been handled carefully and confidently, starting out at Kempton Park back in September 2025 and building steadily from there.

The most recent win came at Doncaster in May 2026, roughly three months ago, and her last two runs since then have been a tenth and a seventh — a noticeable dip after the highs that came before. It's worth keeping that in context: she ran three consecutive wins during the middle part of her career, which is genuinely difficult to do, and the fact that she raced just yesterday means the team clearly still believes there's more to come. Whether those last two runs represent a blip or something to watch more closely is the interesting question hanging over her next appearance.

At four years old, Rose Of Honour is still relatively young and has plenty of racing ahead. With only five races on the clock, there's a lot still to learn about where her ceiling actually is. What we do know is that when she's been at her best, she's been very hard to beat — and in racing, that's usually more than enough to keep everyone watching.
