Andrew Balding

Andrew took over the license at Kingsclere, from father Ian, in January 2003 and has never looked back. He has enjoyed Group 1 success in England, Dubai, Hong Kong, Canada and Australia. To date he has trained over 1700 domestic winners, including recent Classic winner Kameko and Sussex Stakes (GR1), Coronation Stakes (GR1) and July Cup (GR1) winner Alcohol Free. He has sent out over 100 winners in seven of the last nine seasons. 2022 was another record breaking season in terms of prize money (£4.6m) and he is a trainer very much at the top of his game.

Andrew has had particular success for KVT over a number of years with multiple Group winner Tullius the standout, but there have been many other very good horses including Charles The Great, Bishop’s Leap, Flashcard and most recently Carolus Magnus.

Andrew trains two-year-old Fast Society for KVT.
