Radiant Beauty

The Kempton Park story is worth telling on its own. That's where her career began, with her first win back in August 2024, and she has since turned the track into something of a personal playground — 3 wins from just 5 races there. Horses that develop a genuine affinity for a particular course are rare and valuable, and Kempton clearly suits everything about the way she travels and races.

Ground conditions matter a lot with Radiant Beauty, and the numbers point in a clear direction. On wet or muddy ground she has won 3 of 6 races, and on normal conditions she has won 2 of 4 — both figures sitting right at 50%. That consistency across different underfoot conditions is actually unusual and makes her a reliable proposition whatever the weather throws at her.

Kieran Shoemark has become the jockey most closely associated with her, and the partnership has been quietly brilliant — 3 wins from just 5 races together means they're clicking at 60%, which is the kind of figure that makes a trainer reluctant to change anything. Behind the scenes, James Owen's yard in Newmarket has sent out 204 winners this season alone, which puts Radiant Beauty in elite company. A horse trained by a yard running at that volume and that quality doesn't hang around in the wrong races for long.

With a win at Ascot just yesterday and form figures reading 1-1-3-1 across her last four outings, this is a horse who looks to be peaking at exactly the right time. Whatever comes next, her the yard will be watching closely — she has the profile of a horse who could be ready to step up.
