The filly is in the hands of Andrew Balding at Kingsclere in Hampshire, one of Britain's most successful and established training yards. Balding's team has already sent out 202 winners this season, a rate that speaks to the quality of horses passing through the yard and the calibre of horsemanship there. Being trained by a man of that calibre improves anyone's chances, but it also means Godspeed Girl will only run if the yard believes she is ready — Balding is not a trainer who sends out unprepared horses to post. Everything depends now on what happens when she steps out onto the track for real.
