Trojan Truth

Now seven years old, Trojan Truth has raced 37 times in total, winning 7 and finishing in the places 14 more times. That means he has given his the yard something to cheer — a win or a podium finish — in more than half his races overall. He competes almost exclusively at Class 6, the entry level of British racing, where he has won 7 of his 26 races at that grade, a win rate of 27%, or just over 1 in every 4. That is a solid record at this level, and it is worth noting that horses who consistently win at the bottom of the ladder are doing exactly what they are supposed to do — finding their right level and making the most of it.

His best track is Leicester, where he has won 2 of just 4 visits — a 50% record that any horse would be proud of. His first career win came at Windsor back in May 2023, and his most recent was at Chepstow in July 2025. He is in lively current form too, with two wins from his last six races and a sequence that reads 1-1-5-2-3-6 in reverse — meaning he has finished first, first, fifth, second, third, and sixth going back through his recent outings.

Trained by Ed de Giles at Ledbury in Herefordshire, Trojan Truth is part of a yard that has already sent out eight winners this season, suggesting things are ticking along nicely. Trevor Whelan rides him most often, though their partnership has produced just 1 win from 8 races together — a 12% win rate, roughly 1 in every 8. Whelan was aboard for plenty of those near-misses, however, which suggests the chemistry is still developing. Raced just one day ago, this is a horse right in the middle of his season and clearly being kept busy.
