Winston's Warrior

The more interesting detail is where those wins arrived. The first came at Kempton Park back in September 2025, and the second — and most recent — was at Southwell in late April, three months ago. Southwell is a tight, turning track that suits horses with early speed and balance, and the fact that Winston's Warrior broke through there suggests it has a preference for certain course layouts. In Class 4 races, where it typically competes, it has won 1 from 7 attempts, indicating the horse is capable at that level but not dominant.

Charles Hills, who trains the horse at his Lambourn yard, has sent out 29 winners this season and clearly believes there is more to come from Winston's Warrior. The partnership with jockey Jason Watson has been modest — 1 win from 6 rides together, a 17% return — though Watson is an experienced pilot who knows how to extract the best from moderate horses on the right day. With the horse still active and last out just a day ago, Winston's Warrior remains in training and hunting for a third win. On current evidence, that will likely come at a track that suits its running style and in a race where the pace falls kindly.
