A Taste Of Glory

The horse opened its account at Brighton in October 2025, then built on that by winning at Lingfield Park in March 2026 — two different tracks, which suggests A Taste Of Glory is adaptable rather than dependent on one particular venue or set of conditions. Its recent form shows a sixth-place finish last time out, which comes after back-to-back wins, so that latest run will be one the team at Kingsclere are keen to put right. The horse raced just yesterday, so the yard — the yard, rather — are clearly keeping it busy and ambitious.

Behind A Taste Of Glory stands Andrew Balding, one of the most productive trainers in Britain right now. His yard at Kingsclere in Hampshire has sent out 202 winners already this season alone, which is a remarkable output — roughly the equivalent of finding a winner every single day for over six months. When a horse of this age and profile sits in a yard that busy and that successful, it tends to suggest the team believe there is more to come. A Taste Of Glory looks like a horse still finding its feet in the sport, with a record that already flatters to deceive — in the best possible way.
