Bint Kilfrush

Tate, who has sent out 48 winners already this season, trains out of Newmarket and clearly knows what he's doing with a quality horse. Bint Kilfrush is by Sea The Stars — one of the most celebrated stallions in European racing — and is built, by all accounts, like a picture. Tate has described her as a middle-distance type who should continue to improve at three and into her fourth year, which is exactly what you want to hear about a horse carrying that kind of price tag.

Her record so far reads one win from three races, with a placed finish also on the board — she has won 1 in every 3 races she has entered, which is a solid return for a young horse still finding her feet. That win came at Southwell on New Year's Day 2026, and while her two most recent runs have produced fifth-place finishes, she raced just yesterday, so the team are clearly keeping her busy and active. The back-to-back fifths are worth keeping in context: this is a horse whose the yard paid over half a million pounds expecting big things at the top level, not on midwinter cards. The real test of what Bint Kilfrush is made of likely lies ahead, in the better races and on the bigger occasions that a horse of her breeding and price point is ultimately pointing towards.
