Location: Kingsclere, Nr. Newbury, Berkshire.  Andrew Balding has been in charge at Kingsclere since he took over from his father Ian in 2003 and quickly established himself by training the Oaks winner, Casual Look, in his first season.

He has already enjoyed great success with Highclere having trained Bonfire to win the Group 2 Dante Stakes, and he, and his wife Anna Lisa, are the most generous of hosts on stable visits at their historic Park House Stables. In recent seasons Andrew has been the beneficiary of a number of horses from King Power Racing which have bolstered the string and further enhanced the quality at Kingsclere.

He had his most successful season ever in 2018 but is now well on track to make 2021 his best ever, breaking the £3million prize money barrier for the first time with 120 domestic winners. Andrew has an enviable roster of Group winners to his name and is also proficient at landing many of the big handicaps in the racing calendar.
