Andrew Balding has his team in a hot streak of form right now and 11 winners from his last 46 runners and a strike rate of 24% in the last 14 days tell you all you need to know.
The Kingsclere trainer swept the board at Newbury on Saturday when his four winners included Group 3 success for Divina Grace in the John Porter and Jonquil in the Greenham, both on their stable debuts. Whilst Almeric, like Jonquil, also gave him thoughts of Classic success when taking the Feilden Stakes at Newmarket on Wednesday.
Balding notched up 163 winners and £5,138,881 in prize money in 2024 on the domestic front alone and with a frighteningly good team to go to war with this year it could be short betting that he will even surpass that mammoth total this time around.
Andrew took time from his hectic schedule to talk to Tony Elves of attheraces.com about his exciting team for the season.
