Sadly it wasn’t to be for our stable star Blue Bolt at the Breeders’ Cup on Saturday, but we couldn’t be prouder of the incredible season she’s had.

After showing real promise last year, culminating in a second to Fallen Angel in the Group 1 Sun Chariot Stakes, she went from strength to strength in 2026, and currently sits top of the Cartier Hors of the Year rankings.

🏆 6 wins

💰 £900,000+ in prize money

🥇 4 Group 1s:
⠀⠀🇬🇧 Falmouth Stakes, Newmarket
⠀⠀🇫🇷 Prix Rothschild, Deauville
⠀⠀🇮🇪 Matron Stakes, Leopardstown
⠀⠀🇬🇧 Sun Chariot Stakes, Newmarket

👑 Group 2 Duke of Cambridge Stakes, Royal Ascot

None of this would be possible without the wonderful team behind her. Thank you to @izzylienden who looks after her, @alfieredman03 who rides her day to day, @barry_stafford94 her Barn Manager, @ctkjockey for his brilliant rides in her races, and @juddmonte for giving us the privilege of training such a special filly. 💙⚡️

With the @tattersalls1766 Horses in Training Sale 2026 coming to an end, we’d like to thank the superb members of the team who helped out in what is an extremely busy week up in Newmarket. A special thank you to Lucy who does an excellent job of organising, and executing the showing and selling of the Kingsclere’s graduates.

The weeks stats:

🐎 Horses consigned: 30
💰 Turnover: £1,000,650
📈 Top lot: ‘King Of Berkshire’ ~ 200,000gns

Thank you team 🙏

On Saturday, we said a very sad yet proud goodbye to Kalpana as she heads off for retirement. She is a wonderful mare who brought us so many happy days and created some very special memories.

Kalpana achieved incredible things, she won four Group 1s, including the King George this summer, collected north of £2.8 million in prize money and was placed in 17 races. She will always be remembered as a yard favourite by everyone who had the pleasure of being a part of her journey. Her extraordinary way of going was what set her apart, always relaxed, straightforward and a pleasure to train.

Thank you to Shannon, her groom, who has looked after her since she came to Kingsclere, who described her as “the perfect racehorse”. Tyla who rode her every morning, and has played a huge part in the making of such a special mare. Thanks to Barry her barn manager for never missing a beat with her, and everyone else involved.

She has been the horse of a lifetime. Thank you to the whole team at home, Juddmonte for lending us the privilege to train her… and thank you Kalpana.

Andrew.

100 BEST TURNED OUT WINNERS IN 2026 🏆

A big milestone for the team, and evidence of the hard work and dedication of the grooms. Every one of these comes down to the work that goes in at home and on the day… the plaiting, the quarter marks and the hours of care that make the horses look the way they do.

Congratulations and a huge thank you to every groom who has led one up this year, and to the travelling team who get the horses there looking their best 👏

Another week to remember for the team with 11 winners🥇

Including our 6th Group 1 of the year in Blue Bolt, who scored her hat-trick in Leopardstown 🏆

A treble at Chester on Saturday courtesy of @venn_hutchinson means the yard is clear in the Chester Trainers Championship, an accolade which reflects the hard work of the team across the whole country.

Well done to everyone involved, and thank you to the team at home for keeping the show on the road… long may it last!

Swipe for the winners 👉

🏆 Blue Bolt wins the Matron Stakes! 🏆

To take her record to 5/5 this season, and securing her third at the highest level, Blue Bolt was emphatic under @ctkjockey as she quickened clear to beat a quality field for @juddmonte.

She is looked after by @izzylienden, regularly ridden by @alfieredman03 and is under the watch of barn manager @barry_stafford94 who have all played a massive part in her success this year 👏

Forbidden Fire defeated the boys in the Listed Flying Scotsman to take her record to 2/2 🔥

Out of Arabian Queen, this pocket rocket is a half sister to the likes of See the Fire, Venetian Prince and Spirit Mixer and she showed her class winning gamely under @oisindmurphy for Mr Jeff Smith and Littleton Stud.

Congratulations to her groom @shann.95 and regular rider @_emilyivory 👏

Plage De Havre won the Listed Stand Cup at Chester 🏆

Following his success at York, Plage De Havre carried @venn_hutchinson to his first British Listed winner, a huge achievement for our very own Kingsclere Apprentice Graduate.

Well done to @sandile_gift_mbhele who rides him everyday, and @chetan.singh109 who looks after him 🙌

Primal got off the mark under a strong @marcoghiani99 drive at @doncasterraces 🥇

Congratulations to his owner Michael Blencowe, groom @jasonsmitsdorff and another winner for @sandile_gift_mbhele!

Beresford Gap made all the running @doncasterraces under @oisindmurphy to get off the mark for Martin and Valerie Slade @mvspinney!

Congratulations to his groom @lilly.walker150, Beresford Gap brought up our 3rd 2 year old winner of the St Leger Festival.

YORK EBOR FESTIVAL 🏆

6 Winners across the 4 Days for the Team! Congratulations to everyone involved… it is an incredible achievement for all of the team at home who are at the core in making these weeks possible, and a true representation of the hard work and dedication which happens behind the scenes day to day.

SWIPE TO SEE THE WINNERS 👉👉

@yorkraces

ITEM WINS THE JUDDMONTE INTERNATIONAL 🥇

To take his record at York this year to 3/3, Item denied some of the best horses in the world, overcame a disrupted passage up the straight under @ctkjockey, and most importantly was only able to get to the races thanks to the hard work from the team behind him. Groom @baz_lewis_, Yard Manager @fabry_spec and others, from the farrier Ben to @paul_morkan all made an incredible effort to make sure Item got to York in his best form, and it was worth it.

Congratulations to owners @juddmonte 🙌

KALPANA HOLDS ON IN THE YORKSHIRE OAKS 🥇

Backing up her incredible win in the King George and QE Stakes, Kalpana showed her class and bravery to hold on in the Group 1 Yorkshire Oaks. An incredible achievement for groom @shann.95, rider @x.tyla.x and Barn Manager @barry_stafford94 in keeping her in such amazing shape through a relatively quick turnaround from Ascot.

Again, @ctkjockey worked his magic for owners @juddmonte to win a 5th Group 1 in 6 weeks for the yard 💛

Machadadorp got her head back in front under @oisindmurphy for owners Cayton Park Stud to complete a 4 timer for the yard on Thursday.

Well done to @lily.jessup who looks after, and everyone who has ridden her at home 👏

Prizeland was emphatic in the Galtres Stakes, and proved her quality following a brave 2nd in the Glasgow Stakes. Well done to all those involved… ridden by @oisindmurphy for the Wates Family, and looked after and regularly ridden by @midemarc0 🏆

The Lost King backed up his last success at York in impressive style under a tactically perfect @oisindmurphy ride. Congratulations to owners @kingpowerofficial, and @mparm_ar19 who led him up… a huge achievement for all who are involved with him. The Lost King is out of the Kingsclere trained “King Power”, making the success even more special.

Today we celebrate Pat McGuire’s birthday, the “most experienced” member of the Kingsclere team, who turned 88 years of age today.

Pat began his time in racing with William Huntingdon at West Ilsley until he moved to Kingsclere in 2000 to work for Ian. Pat rode out well into his 60s, as well as breaking in yearlings, and now, is a crucial member of the ground staff team…

Thank you for all you have done Pat, and a very happy birthday 🎂
