Zabeel Small

That win came at Windsor on 15 June 2026, just this week, which tells you this horse is very much in the thick of things right now. Windsor is a flat, oval track that tends to suit horses who travel smoothly through a race rather than grinding it out, and Zabeel Small clearly handled it well enough to cross the line first. With only two races on the clock, there is still a lot we do not know about where the ceiling is — but the early signs are encouraging.

Behind the horse is James Tate's yard in Newmarket, one of the sport's great training towns, and the operation is in seriously good form right now. Tate's team has sent out 51 winners already this season, which is the kind of number that tells you this is not a yard that stumbles into success. They know what they are doing, and Zabeel Small looks like one of the horses carrying their momentum forward. With a horse this lightly raced and this effective so far, the next few months could be very interesting indeed.
