We spent the day at Park House Stables in Kingsclere near Newbury with racehorse trainer and Betway ambassador Andrew Balding to get an insight into his world, his work and what it means to train Classic winners.

Andrew became the licensed trainer at Kingsclere in the early 2000s, succeeding his father Ian. His career got off to a perfect start when Casual Look won the 2003 Oaks at Epsom and since then the yard, and his team, has gone from strength to strength.

His Group winners have included star performers such as Passing Glance, Tullius, Blond Me, Horseplay and Beat The Bank, whilst Group 1 wins have come courtesy of Here Comes When in the Sussex Stakes, Donjuan Triumphant in the British Champions Sprint and Kameko in the Futurity Trophy.

In 2020 Andrew achieved his second Classic success when Kameko won the 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, whilst Alcohol Free capped off an excellent season with victory in the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes. He finished 4th in the British Trainer’s Championship for 2020 with his horses earning over £2,000,000 in prize money.
