That first win came at Bath on 13 September 2025, and it remains the only victory to date, though the recent run of form — fifth, third, then first — tells an encouraging story of a horse that improved with each outing before breaking through. Having raced just yesterday, Magic Trip is very much an active presence on the track right now.
The trainer is Andrew Balding, operating out of his Kingsclere yard in Hampshire, which has been one of the most productive operations in British racing this season with 204 winners already sent out. To put that in context, that is a remarkable volume of success — the kind of number that puts a yard firmly among the elite. For Magic Trip, being part of that setup matters: horses trained at Kingsclere are well prepared and well placed, and Balding has a track record of knowing when and where to run his horses to give them the best chance. A young horse with a clean placed record in every start, trained by someone operating at that level, is one to keep an eye on as the season progresses.
