That first career win came at Fakenham on 29 October 2025, and it is worth pausing on that. Fakenham is a small, tight, quirky track in Norfolk that rewards horses who genuinely like racing around a loop — it is not a place where talent alone gets you home. Winning there is a proper achievement, and the fact that it took Reforme 18 races to reach that moment makes it feel earned rather than accidental. He raced there just six months ago.
Robert Dunne has been in the saddle for seven of those 18 races and was aboard for the win, giving them a record of one from seven together — that is roughly 1 in every 7 rides converting into a victory, which comfortably beats the overall career average of 1 in every 18. When Dunne rides, something happens more often. That partnership is worth watching.
Tom Gretton trains Reforme from his yard in Inkberrow, Worcestershire, and has sent out 13 winners this season — a solid, active yard rather than a powerhouse, but one clearly capable of placing horses well. Reforme raced just one day ago, so he is fit, current, and in the thick of his season. Whether the Fakenham win proves to be a one-off or the start of something more consistent is the question worth asking.
