Infraad

That win came at Pontefract this week, on 29 April 2026, and it followed a sequence of 3rd, then 2nd — a horse that was clearly finding its feet and getting closer with each run before breaking through. That kind of progressive pattern is exactly what trainers look for in a young horse: improvement, not just participation.

Behind Infraad is William Haggas, one of the most respected trainers in Britain, operating out of Newmarket in Suffolk — the spiritual home of British flat racing. The fact that Haggas's yard has already sent out 175 winners this season tells you everything about the operation: this isn't a small stable hoping for a lucky break, it's a factory of racehorses managed by people who know exactly what they're doing. When a horse from this yard wins, it's rarely an accident.
