Andrew Balding

Andrew started his training career with a bang back in 2003 when Casual Look landed the Oaks. Globetrotting star Phoenix Reach followed soon afterwards and Andrew has never looked back, with Group 1 winners aplenty, most recently with Alcohol Free’s two memorable top-level wins in 2021 in the Coronation Stakes and the Sussex Stakes. These wins were the highlight of an outstanding season, which ended with Andrew finishing second in the trainers’ championship – a feat he will no doubt be trying to better this season! He and his wife Anna-Lisa are based at Kingsclere, a yard steeped in racing history with previous inhabitants including the great Mill Reef and Lochsong among many other champions.
