Talk Of New York

The horse is three years old and still relatively lightly raced, which matters. With only five races under its belt, there's genuine scope to improve further. Its career started with a win at Kempton Park in October 2025, and it hasn't looked back since, adding two more victories to make it one of the more consistent young horses in training right now. The most recent form figures — 3-1-1-3-1 — tell a story of a horse that occasionally gets beaten but keeps finding its way back to the front.

That last win came at Sandown Park on 28 May 2026, just three weeks ago, and the horse ran again only yesterday, so this is a horse being kept busy while clearly in form. Trainers who keep winning horses active are usually confident in what they've got. The yard behind Talk Of New York is Charlie Appleby's operation in Newmarket, one of the most powerful training setups in Britain. Appleby's team has sent out 121 winners this season alone — that's not a yard that runs horses for the fun of it. When they keep putting a horse in, it's because they believe it belongs there.

At three years old, with this win rate, trained by one of the best in the business and raced just yesterday, Talk Of New York is exactly the kind of horse worth following. The story is still being written.
