Mr Colonel

That one win came at Redcar on 20 April 2026, and it remains the highlight of what is shaping up to be a promising young career. A 20% win rate — one win from every five races — might not sound extraordinary on its own, but paired with four places from those same five outings, it paints the picture of a horse who is almost always competitive. He is not the type to blow hot and cold; he shows up.

Behind him stands the yard of Richard and Peter Fahey, operating out of Musley Bank in North Yorkshire. The Faheys have sent out nine winners already this season, which speaks to a stable in good form and good health. A horse trained there is in capable hands, and with Mr Colonel having raced just one day ago, he is clearly being kept busy while his form is live. That recent activity is a good sign — teams tend to keep horses running when things are going right.

At just three years old, Mr Colonel is still at the beginning of his story. The age matters: three-year-olds are still developing, still learning what racing asks of them, and the ones who are already this consistent at that stage tend to improve further as the season goes on. Whether he builds on that Redcar win or finds himself placed again, he looks like a horse worth keeping an eye on through the summer.
