Talk Of New York

The career began at Kempton Park in October 2025 with a winning debut, a result that immediately suggested Talk Of New York was a cut above the typical first-time starter. A placed effort followed, keeping the momentum going, and then just this week came a second win at Newmarket — one of the most prestigious and competitive tracks in British racing, the so-called home of the sport. Winning there at any stage of a career means something. Winning there as a lightly-raced three-year-old means rather more.

Behind Talk Of New York sits one of the most powerful operations in British racing. Charlie Appleby, based in Newmarket, has sent out 121 winners already this season — a number that reflects a yard firing on all cylinders. Appleby is the trainer behind some of the biggest names in recent global racing, so when a young horse catches his eye and starts winning races, it tends to be worth paying attention. Talk Of New York has clearly caught that eye, and with just three races on the clock, there is every reason to think the most interesting chapters of this story are still ahead.
